Liv.e has shared a new single ‘I Been Livin’, taken from her forthcoming debut album ‘Couldn’t Wait To Tell You…’, which will be released on July 31 In Real Life.
‘I Been Livin’ is a lo-fi soul track that’s as expansive as it is circular. Liv.e sings over a distorted, spiralling piano sample that feels world-weary yet revitalising and recharging.

This will be the final single released before the album’s release, following singles like ‘Bout These Pipedreams’ and ‘Sir Lady Makem Fall’.
Liv.e’s previous projects, like 2017’s ‘F.R.A.N.K.’ and 2018’s ‘Hoopdreams’, lead to her supporting Earl Sweatshirt on his 2019 Fire It Up tour. More recently, she also featured on Black Noi$e’s new single ‘The Band’.
