ANNOUNCES GITHPREMIXEDITION OUT AUGUST 29TH
“unnerving and enchanting” – Harper’s Bazaar
“Girl in the Half Pearl demands that you hear what it has to say” – NPR
“Liv.e has found a home among some of Black music’s most critically lauded experimentalists” – Pitchfork
“her own mutant strain of R&B” – Rolling Stone
“one of the most sonically adventurous and, at times, mind-blowing releases I’ve heard recently” – Uproxx
“the album’s confident mindset and musicality are defenses against the unpleasantness of the decade” – Vulture
Surprising fans while in the middle of a European festival run, Liv.e reemerges to announce a full remix album of her critically-lauded sophomore album Girl in the Half Pearl, and share two new remixes from frequent collaborator and friend, Dolfin Records’ Ben Hixon. GITHPREMIXEDITION is out August 29th via In Real Life, and features both new Ben Hixon remixes out now for “HowTheyLikeMe!” and “Back Alley,” distinctly warping both tracks and pushing them into entirely new creative spaces.
Liv.e’s breakout sophomore album, Girl In The Half Pearl, has been widely celebrated since its release earlier this year, and Billboard, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone and Vulture have all included it on their Best Albums of 2023 (so far) lists. Across 17 tracks, Liv.e explores the mental hurdles of self-examination, grappling with grief and the dynamics of her relationships. The album marks a significant point in Liv.e’s personal and creative journey, building upon the foundation laid by her debut album Couldn’t Wait To Tell You…. The immersive soundscape of GITHP captures Liv.e’s process of growth, forgiveness, and reclamation of her sense of womanhood. Liv.e’s artistic experimentation during her residency at London’s Laylow last year informed the album’s artistic shifts.
Check out Ben Hixon’s remixes of “HowTheyLikeMe!” and “Back Alley“, see upcoming live dates and the full GITHPREMIXEDITION tracklist below, and stay tuned for more from Liv.e coming soon. Physical copies of the album, including vinyl, cassette, and CD, are available exclusively on Liv.e’s Bandcamp page HERE.
