First Listen: Aloe Blacc mixes it up again on "Live My Life"

Share this article

    When it comes to singer and songwriter Aloe Blacc, you can almost expect a sound that avoids easy categorization. And his quietly released new song, "Live My Life," is no exception. Beginning with an acoustic guitar and and the march of drums, the song is a catchy mixture of R&B, Americana and Folk. 

    "Live My Life" tells the story of an aspiration for life, of great things to come, but all grounded by the everpresent reality "but it's so hard to live my life."

    The song goes through several movements, and it becomes a bit of a surprise earworm. We're not sure that this song is "typical" enough for radio to pick up, but we sure will here. Another solid addition by one of the most interesting artists around.
