An utterly addictive blue single that gorgeously captures the struggle of craving what’s not good for us.

Liv Belda is a multi-talented artist whose distinctive style shines through in each of her unique creations. Her previous releases, such as “Lovesick,” “at least we fell in love,” “Bad At Texting,” and “Pearblossom Highway,” have all showcased her clear passion for creating music. With no signs of slowing down, Liv Belda’s latest drop is the blues single “Dark Roast.” Reflecting on her new tune on Instagram, the singer shared, “I sat in the airport drinking my black coffee, and it led me to think that sometimes you love the things that really aren’t the best for you because they taste good. It’s okay that we go absolutely mad for what/who we love because that’s passion and that’s life.”

With a mesmerizing blend of easygoing instrumentals and mood-enhancing beats, “Dark Roast” delivers a seriously sweet, bluesy backdrop that beautifully complements the tune’s emotionally charged tale. Lyrics like “You taste like dark roast in my mouth, you taste like cigarettes not sunflowers” and “Your taste, it lingers like a tattoo on my tongue, but when it all is said, the damage is done, but I’m still crazy for you” reflect on loving someone despite realizing you’d probably be better off without them.

Fueled by its rich, soulful vocals and stylish guitar moments, Liv Belda gifts us with an utterly addictive blues single that gorgeously captures the struggle of craving what’s not good for us. The song’s evocative lyrics and soulful delivery make it relatable and poignant, drawing listeners into the bittersweet emotions it explores.
