Before Griff’s debut album had a name – or its titular first single, even – it had a feeling: vertigo. That pit-of-your-stomach, up-is-down sense that the world is spinning faster than you can keep up with, and your own place in it has never felt less secure. It’s a journey of self-discovery that Griff has taken fans on ever since, building the three volumes of her landmark project in real-time and weaving songs that resonated with the vertigo arc into work that moves through melancholy and heartache into healing and joy.

Liana Flores is a London-based English-Brazilian singer-songwriter influenced by Bossa Nova, ’60s British folk, and the Romantic poets, calling to mind artists from Nick Drake and Astrud Gilberto to contemporaries like Laufey and Faye Webster. With her music, Liana aims to open a window to the sublime in the everyday, simplicity, emotional candor, and the rhythms of the seasons – inviting each listener into what she describes as a ‘fantastical realm’. Liana appears now with her debut album ‘Flower of the soul’, an 11-track collection of vignettes that illustrate co-existent playfulness and sincerity, the suggestion of ephemerality; the consonance of soul, and soil, too. Throughout the album, love wanders from the romantic to the ecospiritual on tracks like ‘Nightvisions’, to the Bossa-inspired ‘I wish for the rain’ and saudade ‘Now and then’, before finding a moment of clarity with ‘Butterflies (feat. Tim Bernardes)’.
