THE WORLD'S BEST NEW MUSIC

Rising British-Brazilian singer-songwriter and guitarist Liana Flores has steadily built a devoted global following with her enchanting, idiosyncratic blend of 1960s bossa nova, pastoral English folk, and Baroque pop sensibilities. After captivating listeners with early independent EPs and her critically acclaimed 2024 Verve Records debut album Flower of the soul, Flores has emerged as a distinct voice in the contemporary acoustic landscape. Her signature style combines delicate fingerpicked guitar, rich vocal harmonies, and clever, literary lyricism that effortlessly bridges mid-century Brazilian warmth with quiet British introspection.

Following up her full-length debut, And so it goes... finds Liana Flores delivering a tightly woven, six-track EP - her most focused and self-assured project to date. Moving beyond the solitude of pure bedroom-folk, this modest release embraces a sophisticated modern jazz-pop arrangements, utilizing brushed percussion, warm double bass, and lush multi-tracked vocals.

The project opens with "So it goes," where Flores glides seamlessly between English and Portuguese over a calm bossa rhythm. "Silvershoes" and "So mysterious" inject crisp, syncopated funk and driving R&B momentum into her repertoire, while the darker, lower-register "Gemini" casts a hypnotic spell. Closing with the deeply moving "The way I say goodbye", Flores demonstrates an evolving artistic maturity, proving her singular acoustic universe can step onto the light of public gaze without losing an ounce of its intimate magic.
