British-Brazilian singer-songwriter Liana Flores has built her sound on a dreamy blend of bossa nova and folk influences, paired with introspective lyrics that draw us into her own world.
Today, Sep. 4, she released her new EP And so it goes… Shaped by the ebb and flow of touring, relationships and getting older, the six-track project follows Liana’s journey from her rural hometown in Norfolk to St. Andrews and eventually London, weaving together finger-picked guitars, gossamer bossa vocals and upbeat funk into her most expansive sound yet.
To celebrate the release, we’ve collected 68 of Liana’s most whimsical lyrics to use as your next Instagram captions. Discover the very best below.
