Today's Song of the Day, as chosen by Larry Mizell, Jr., host of Street Sounds on KEXP, in honor of Juneteenth, is "SirLadyMakemFall" by Liv.e, from the 2020 EP Bout These Pipedreams / Lessons from My Mistakes.. but I Lost Your Number on In Real Life Music / AWAL. Hear Larry's Weekly Mix Juneteenth podcast here.
Following a tour with Earl Sweatshirt and appearances on both his and Pink Siifu’s recent albums, Dallas-bred, Los Angeles-based artist Liv.e (pronounced "liv") somehow found time for a forthcoming full-length, titled Couldn't Wait To Tell You, out later this year via In Real Life Records. Today's featured track is a sneak peek at the upcoming release.
On today's Song of the Day, Liv.e taps into her roots for a little Western swing behind the soulful R&B sounds. She gave some insight into the track to The Fader, explaining, "'SirLadyMakemFall' started off as a conversation I was having with myself about how I would view myself from a feminine and masculine stand point. Hence 'sir lady.' Like what them boys gotta say about Liv? And what them girls gotta say?"
