Everything You Wanted to Know About ‘rises the moon’ Singer-Songwriter Liana Flores
25-year-old British-Brazilian singer-songwriter Liana Flores has a sound that's truly unmistakable, and with each passing release, she's only getting better.
Liana is perhaps best known for her wistfully melancholic viral track "rises the moon," and last month, she dropped her debut album, Flower of the soul, to share even more of her artistry with the world. Her music captures her unique spirit, with an ethereal sound combining jazz with British folk and bossa nova energy to create something nostalgic that transports you to Liana's own dream-like fantasy world. We can't get enough, and below, you can discover everything Liana shared with us as our Woman Crush Wednesday.
