Liv.e and the Beauty in the Discomfort
Liv.e’s sophomore album Girl In The Half Pearl is a once unspoken look into her life between the age of 19 and 25. From the first track, you know that she is ready to say what she wants, and no longer lives in fear of the repercussions of it. We spoke to the artist about the freedom of being “negative”, having to be her own big sister, Capricorn tendencies and why night time is the right time.
