Liana Flores Flower of the soul
London-based British-Brazilian singer and songwriter Liana Flores pairs dream-like vignettes of her intimate world with wistful, drifting guitar melodies to get lost in. She draws from the British folk of her small-town upbringing in South Norfolk and the bossa nova of her mother’s native Brazil. Her style finds a musical kinship with the jazz-pop revivalism of artists like Laufey – whom she supported on her European tour in 2022 – while sharing the depth and craftsmanship of renowned songwriters like Vashti Bunyan, Nick Drake and João Gilberto.
She began to combine her widespread musical influences with imaginative lyricism, drawing from nature, fantasy and personal tales. The result led to her song “rises the moon” which reached a huge audience online and led to her signing to Verve Records (The Velvet Underground, Kurt Vile, Arooj Aftab) & partnering with Fiction Records (The Cure, Tame Impala, Billie Marten) as her UK partner. "Flower of the soul" is a truly transportive debut, an album that is a clear statement of artistic intent. Blending elements of British folk, classic jazz and Brazilian pop, "Flower of the soul" is a release that explores transformation in all of its forms and puts a spotlight on a truly singular talent.
