LIV E Vinyl & CDs

Review: There is a sketchy feeling to the 20 tracks that make up this short but super sweet record, which is a debut from Dallas-raised, Los Angeles-based vocalist Liv.e. Each one captures a certain feeling, an in between moment, an exact second in time that you wish could last a lifetime. Emotions are rich throughout, and range from longing to anticipation, eagerness to anticipation. Musically raw, loose and impromptu, it's part neo-soul, part jazz, part hip hop, but all golden, with vocal deliveries ranging from spoken to sung to rapped. The whole thing passes by in a moment, but it feels unified from front to back and makes a truly lasting impression.
