Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell

Liv.e is boldly putting herself out there by taking on almost every artistic endeavor on 'Girl In The Half Pearl'. From posing nude on the cover, to directing and starring in the music videos for "Ghost" and "Wild Animals", to producing the vast majority of the project (shouts out to Mndsgn). I was privileged to hear "Find Out" during an intimate performance at Laylow in London last year (Liv.e even played it twice)! Influences abound, her body of work continues to grow with me upon each listen. JALENKWRIGHT
