We previously featured Livi Jacobs as she showcased her emotive depth and wisdom on her refined and intricate debut single, Goodbye, so when we heard that the star was back with Better That Way, we couldn’t wait to listen and share our experience.
Establishing the mood with a subversive, down-pitched vocal Livi Jacobs opens Better That Way with intrigue and dimensionality, before sharing a pristine, atmospheric pop vocal with situational prose.
The opus takes us on a personal journey as the star shares evocative lyricism, accompanied by a fierce soundscape with a pulsating beat, textured risers and intricate sound design.
We learn that the theme of Better That Way centres around “remembering a situationship that ended abruptly.” We appreciate the dynamic vocal production which delivers an immersive feel, and a highly unique energy that we cannot get enough of.
Speaking on the release, Livi confesses, “I am very excited about Better That Way. The production really helped me step out of my comfort zone and experiment with new sounds, including an EDM influence and distorted voices.”
Originally from Vienna, Austria, Livi Jacobs has now settled in a coastal town in southwest Florida. Throughout her journey in the music industry, she has dedicated much of her time to honing her craft in Nashville, Tennessee, and Los Angeles, California, learning from experienced individuals who have guided her in the art of songwriting. This certainly comes through in the authenticity that she exudes with Better That Way.
We have added Better That Way to our New Music Spotlight playlist, as well as our brand new TRIPPY playlist, whilst we continue to stream Goodbye, and anticipate future releases from the talented creator.
