Liv East explores lust, love & autonomy on debut album ‘FUNKSOULSEX’
East London artist and creative Liv East arrives with her debut album, 'FUNKSOULSEX', a smooth and intimate body of work that brings together the themes, ideas and emotions shaping her artistic world.
Arriving ahead of her biggest headline show to date at London’s iconic Jazz Café on 8th October, the album builds on a steady run of releases throughout the year, including 'Fever Dream', 'Sugar Rush' and 'Projections'. Together, those releases have offered glimpses into Liv East’s evolving sound, while 'FUNKSOULSEX' expands that world into her most complete and realised project so far.
Across the album, East moves fluidly between seduction, lust and longing, exploring the complexities of intimacy alongside ideas of female autonomy and the romanticised expectations often attached to love. Rather than treating those themes in isolation, she allows them to overlap, creating a project that feels personal while remaining rooted in the sensuality of her sound.
Musically, 'FUNKSOULSEX' carries a smooth energy throughout, with its collection of new material giving greater depth to the sonic identity established through her singles. The result is a debut that feels considered and intimate, allowing East to explore both the freedom and vulnerability that come with desire and connection.
With 'FUNKSOULSEX' now out and her Jazz Café headline show on the horizon, Liv East enters the next stage of her journey with a body of work that gives a clearer picture of the artist she is becoming.
