Liana Flores almost had a very different life. In the Sliding Doors version, there is a parallel universe in which she is working in a lab—having completed her zoology degree at Scotland's St. Andrews University—and maybe playing music on weekends if she has time. Instead, it's the music that has become the focus for the South Norfolk, England, native, after her song "Rises the Moon" has racked up more than 129 million related posts on TikTok. Flores, to the credit of those millions of fans, is no pop tart. Her mood-ring music pulls inspiration from classic jazz, retro Brazilian music and 60-year-old British folk songs. The title of her debut album is lifted from an old Kate Bush lyric ("You crush the lily in my soul"), and there are traces, too, of Bush's otherworldly vibe in the music—particularly on songs like "Crystalline," with its windchime-like effect. "Hello again" mixes the influences of '60s Brazilian pop and Bacharach, weaving in dreamy flute from David Ralicke and Flores' own low-key guitar strumming. "Orange-coloured day" evokes Ren Faire folk, with Gabe Noel's glycerine bass and Dory Bavarsky's loungey nightclub piano building a foundation over which Flores' free-floating "da da da" vocalizations summon the sunniness of the title. "Nightvisions" charms with spritely canyon folk vibes, but has its roots in a different realm: Flores has said it is loosely inspired by the Twilight books and movies as an expression of the transformation of love. "Halfway heart" dips into playful and agile samba, while "I wish for the rain" could be an old jazz standard. It's remarkable that a song as spare as "Now and then" actually has so much going on: lovely, tender guitar contrasted next to Jaques Morelenbaum's (Caetano Veloso, Ryuichi Sakamato) sharper cello and Flores' featherweight vocals. Producer and mixer Noah Georgeson has also worked with Joanna Newsom and Devendra Banhart, but here brings a touch more sophistication than quirk. And "Butterflies" pairs Flores with São Paulo musician Tim Bernardes, a founding member of the tropicalia-indie group O Terno, for a cheerfully lighthearted duet that draws on Brazil's great pop heritage. © Shelly Ridenour/Qobuz
