\u2018Liquid Love\u2019, the fourth single from Billie Marten\u2019s Flora Fauna<\/a><\/em>, forces us to revisit the album\u2019s cover image: Marten smiling brightly whilst splattered with mud, weeds, and other earthly things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The single concerns itself with growth, what life is like after you can grow into loving yourself, with \u2018liquid love\u2019 \u2013 specifically- referring to the life and joy running through her veins. This didn\u2019t spring from nowhere however, instead, she grew it herself, and so she sticks the byproducts of the self-growth on her face to show how far she has come. https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/7a27KSsp85L7DSNHdXWhyu?si=d3ef3c3a440e4c1e<\/p>\n\n\n\n When asked if there were any anecdotes or stories about writing the album, she jokingly remarks \u201care there any anecdotes from two years of living?\u201d<\/a> with a raised brow. \u2018Liquid Love\u2019 encapsulates this, marking a departure from her teenage, hormone-fuelled self, but also definitive statements from her past: her first EP<\/a> saw her state \u201cI will never be myself\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead, the Yorkshire-born singer-songwriter begins with \u201cMe and my body\/ Making me believe\/ All this is good for me\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The introspection of the lyrics is matched by a lo-fi, emotive beat intertwined with a loop of Marten\u2019s swooning backing vocals, creating a serene backdrop of pleasure and contentment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n More mellow than the first singles from the album, \u2018Liquid Love\u2019 is a song for the Indian Summer. We know the sun is about to depart suddenly and painfully, but we have ourselves, and the comfort of this moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2018Liquid Love\u2019 is a tangible love and the form in which Billie Marten has chosen to fuel herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Posted from: https:\/\/www.indiependent.co.uk\/track-review-liquid-love-billie-marten\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
