  Haley’s Favorites

  Haley

  There is only one flaw with this album and that’s that her single best song, Rises the Moon, isn’t on it. This is the newest addition to my all timer music collection, in that I only discovered Liana Flores in 2025. Right after I moved to the city, going on walks in my neighborhood, these songs instilled a sense of peace in my summer soundtrack. I’m not generally into music that’s slow and peaceful; I love a hook, a driving beat, weirdness and newness. But something about Liana’s music has been really nice. I think, it’s the intersection of poetry and music. The simple guitar and stripped ambiance really enhance the singing, and put a spotlight on Liana’s lovely lyrics. They’re evocative and creative, working in tandem with the general aesthetic she’s going for. Cuckoo and Orange Colored Day are my favorites on this album for this reason, although all the songs are great. I like the idea that if I ever learn to play the guitar that’s gathering dust in my closet, her music would be really accessible to me to play alone. If you like this kind of music, I think Rebecca Sugar’s work would be my recommendation. It’s not really one album in particular, but it does share a lot of the same qualities of being lyrical, story driven, and relaxed.
