You would think that your birthday would be your favorite holiday because of the obvious--It’s the only day of the year that’s focused on you (or so you’d think). This is the one day of the year that you can do whatever you want because… you don’t even need a reason besides the fact that you were born today, duh. But Liza Jane takes that happy day and shows us that it’s not always rainbows and butterflies.
“Taking influences from jazz pop hip-hop soul and R&B Liza Jane cultivates a borderline experimental sound captivating audiences with her dynamic lyricism and vocal ability . "Internet girl no1", her freshman project released this September, connected with the masses reaching both highs and lows through its unapologetic honesty about being a young woman in 2019. She hopes to continue this buzz with this single, as it brings in those same vibes that helped her stand out in her project,
Unhappy Birthday is out now on all streaming platforms.”
Beginning with a soft and gentle piano build up, Liza invites us into her birthday celebration with simplistic visuals and a soothing, calm voice. Her singing dialect is comparable to Florence + The Machine, which is super cool honestly because we don’t have a lot of that sound here in MKE. She starts off by asking us a simple question, “am I better off on my own?” Well, just like the next line, we don’t know but what we do know is that this short, sweet, why do we let love ruin our birthday song is definitely the move.
Whether you were alone for the holidays due to a recent breakup, lingering on a past lover or literally just like listening to slower sad music, Liza Jane is your girrrrrl.
Heart this post and go head and stream Unhappy Birthday by Liza Jane and let us know what ya think.
