Slow Exhale, through the medium of eight songs by Liv Monaghan, brings us on a meditative, reflective journey.
Jazz in arrangement and approach, it incorporates elements of Folk, Soul and World music while retaining its Jazz features.
Slow Exhale, is a paint-collage of sorts, with notes of gentleness, humour and innocence, set beside a haunting sense of longing, calling to mind the fragmented nature of life in all its joys and melancholy.
