BBC Introducing Picks, Livvy Lauren’s Genuine and Raw Pop Ballad, “Who You Are” As Record Of The Week

Livvy Lauren

BBC Introducing has chosen a personal, honest track., “Who You Are” from London, UK area based singer/songwriter Livvy Lauren as its Record Of The Week. The second single of Livvy’s that the BBC has added to their rotation after the artist’s last release, named “Messin’.”

Livvy Lauren, a self-proclaimed adrenaline lover, takes inspiration from contemporaries like Ella Henderson, Sam Smith, Jorja Smith, and Doja Cat, whose dynamic performances and energizing lyrics stand out to Livvy above all others. The prolific singer/songwriter says “Who You Are” is a “truthful pop ballad based around a desperation for the person you love to be open, honest, and a true version of themselves.”

Over the last couple of years, Livvy has written over 50 songs, finding that her creativity blossoms at night and while driving. “The numeral of times I have had to drag over to voice record something on my phone or step outside the house late at night to hum a new melody is ridiculous,” she laughs. Her new release, “Who You Are,” as well as other recent releases, “50/50” and “Messin’,” are the products of that creativity.

Livvy Lauren has a new performance video for “Who You Are” coming out in October 2022 and is planning performances in and around London. Livvy worked with US-based producer/songwriter Alex Houton of AHM Media, who found her online and reached out to work with her. The two wrote and recorded remotely, at London’s Metropolis Studios, during the lockdowns of the pandemic. The lyric video for “Who You Are” can be found on YouTube.

Eylsia explores courage, identity and the unknown on latest release “What Will Become of Me”

Elysia

Eylsia’s latest release, “What Will Become of Me,” is a cool pop starter that is built on catchy piano chords and synths. The song’s real strength lies in its honest questions about identity, courage, and what might lie beneath the surface. It is a dialogue with yourself, asking what happens when you stop looking outside and start looking inside.

Eylsia sings about finding courage within herself, a little light on her own, more than any mirror shows. It’s nice not to know, to feel like all the answers don’t have to be figured out today. The song isn’t seeking an ending or trying to resolve the question it is based on.

“What Will Become of Me” centers on the emotional core of self-discovery. The song has a very personal sense of independence, with lyrics about leaving a frame on the wall and not letting anyone else paint the answers in the sky. But Eylsia delivers a contemplative pop moment, with catchy musical elements and a message that leaves the listener with a question that could linger long after the song ends, and the courage at its heart to face the unknown.

Little Quirks expose perfectly timed romance on “Game Boy”

Little Quirks

If every move is timed perfectly, romance can feel believable. Shiny charm comes from Little Quirks’ new single, “Game Boy,” which makes it a little more playful and a little more edgy. This is a rock-pop song for the smooth-talking romantic, the one who has all the moves down pat, from flowers on cue to moments that feel a little too cinematic.

This tension fuels the “Gameboy,” and Little Quirks balances an immediate hook with a darker undercurrent. That restlessness is key to the song’s appeal, and it gives the release a sense of constant movement, making its playful attitude active rather than passive. Beneath that happy surface is a smart doubt about romantic performances that are clearly designed to attract people.

“Game Boy” also clearly indicates an artistic shift for the New South Wales band. The track offers another glimpse into a bolder, darker chapter and a glimpse of their upcoming album, “She’s Wild.” Little Quirks never loses sight of the accessible qualities that make pop and rock so immediate, and it expresses the desirable ease of someone who always seems to know what to say or do.

The result is a release built on distinction, playful but pointed, catchy, energetic, and more questioning. “Game Boy” suggests Little Quirks is crafting a space between upbeat musical energy and downbeat emotional concepts. This new music comes from a band that is in a more confident, restless phase of their creative life.
