Heartbeat Of Shibuya – acoustic version
release november 22nd
In the fantasy world of „Heartbeat of Shibuya“ Liv Solveig sings about Tokyo and it´s famous district Shibuya.
No matter if it is day or night Shibuya vibrates and within it you find driven human creatures that express their protest again social norms by dyeing their hair red and blue. The city life is materialized in the lyrics through metaphors of nature. It appears like a jungle and the streets like a major river. Atmospheric strings increase the feeling of being in the wilderness.
WORDS – Single – release october 18th 2024
WORDS is the first single from Liv Solveig’s EP “Nordic Coastline”.
The song is a new, acoustic-symphonic version of the previously released song WORDS (album “Slow Travels”).
The song is about two people who meet in a “stormy” situation in the midst of misunderstandings. But they are still “safe” together because their hearts remain open to each other.
Where the two find loving words, their love is safe.
“Where there is love words are safe” works like a mantra here and runs through the whole song.
SLOW TRAVELS
Slow Travels´s songs (release may 14th 2021) offer a patchwork of influences from around the world – from her classical background, via the folk spirit of an earlier musical project, to Harlem jazz – all of them combined to create something she considers her musical home. Liv’s voice – or rather her voices – hover over these complex arrangements like hymns, reminiscent of both the songs of the indigenous Sami people and her childhood as the daughter of an organist and a priest, her inspirations encompassing Bach as much as Sigur Rós.
