– The Guardian

31 JULY 2026 (TORONTO, ON) — Today, singer-songwriter Liana Flores announces her new EP, And so it goes…, out September 4th via Verve Records. Pre-order the EP, including eco-friendly vinyl pressings, exclusive signed copies, and the “Seaglass green” cassette here. Alongside the announcement, Liana shares her latest single “Silvershoes.” Sung from the perspective of a Hollywood waitress who dreams of a different life after seeing a pair of glamorous silver shoes, the track explores the journey of imagining what could be, and the hope, longing, and uncertainty that come with pursuing our dreams — a sentiment that feels deeply universal. Listen to “Silvershoes” here, and watch its accompanying lyric video here.
Speaking on the inspiration for the new track, Liana says:
“I read this in Virginia Postrel’s book The Power of Glamour: ‘Glamour gives us pleasure, even as it heightens our yearning. It leads us to feel that the life we dream of exists, and to desire it even more.’”
The British-Brazilian has steadily built a global audience, opening for Men I Trust, Ichiko Aoba, and Belle & Sebastian while continuing to release new music, including her recent single “So it goes” listen here. Earlier this year, she collaborated with bossa nova architect Roberto Menescal on “Midnight Lullaby,” and Mei Semones on “Koneko.” Liana will perform live with Semones this fall as part of Verve Records’ 70th Anniversary Show at Central Park’s Summerstage on September 2nd.
Recorded in Los Angeles with Grammy-nominated producer, mixer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Paul Butler (Lord Huron, The Teskey Brothers, Michael Kiwanuka, Andrew Bird), And so it goes… continues to draw from the bossa nova influences that inspiredFlower of the soul, Liana’s 2024 debut album on Verve Records. To date, Flower of the soul has amassed over 84 million streams globally, resonating with a rapidly expanding fanbase around the world and introducing new listeners to Liana’s unique blend of sound.
Blending elements of bossa nova and Brazilian pop with an indie, folk-y spin, Liana’s music explores transformation in all of its forms and puts a spotlight on a truly singular talent.

About Liana Flores
Raised by an immigrant Brazilian mother and British father in rural Norfolk, Flores first began learning music while listening to ‘80s and ‘90s bossa nova artists like Bebel Gilberto and Leila Pinheiro alongside Top 40 pop radio. In her late teens, she picked up a guitar and started emulating finger-picked bossa nova guitar chords by ear, first covering Tom Jobim standards, then writing her own songs combining the bossa guitar style with her own introspective lyrics, expressing loneliness, self-doubt, and endurance.
Since the release of her acclaimed 2024 debut album Flower of the soul, British-Brazilian singer-songwriter Liana Flores has been at the forefront of a bossa nova revival. Drawing on the ‘60s sound of genre pioneers like Joao Gilberto alongside pop songwriting, Flores combines the dual aspects of her cultural heritage to create an emotive sound.
Following extensive tour dates across North America, Asia and Europe, Flores now returns with a new EP, And so it goes…, that expands her palette to encompass the playful and ebullient experiences of moving from her rural hometown in Norfolk to St. Andrews before coming to London. The result is a six-track collection that shifts between finger-picked guitar and gossamer bossa vocals of “So it goes” to the upbeat funk inflections of the heavy-grooving love song “So mysterious”, the Carole King-influenced folk storytelling of “Here to stay,” and the sprightly, glittering pop melodies of “Silvershoes.”
“This record is the story of the country girl moving to the city,” Liana Flores says. “It’s bossa nova meets pop, inspired by the people, relationships and glamour of city life.”
“These songs were informed by my experiences living in the city and touring for the first time. I grew up and studied in small towns with nature in my surroundings, so that’s what came naturally in terms of lyrics. I also wanted to challenge myself to write songs with strong melodies that would be fun to sing or to get ready to.”
With And so it goes… Flores now reaches a new phase, taking in the life-changing experiences of recent years spent travelling the world as an artist and moving to London and channelling their commotion through the easygoing nature of bossa nova.
