⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rating: 5 out of 5.“Let Me Live” is a psychedelic, neo-funky experience for the soul.
Indiana-based R&B artist Blacc Licorish brings a refreshing twist to the genre with her vibrant, funky vibes and thought-provoking lyrics. Drawing inspiration from icons like Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, and SZA, her hazy, soothing vocals blend seamlessly with mid-tempo neo-soul beats as she sings about positivity, self-acceptance, and embracing who you are. In her latest single, “Let Me Live,” Blacc Licorish encourages fans to rise above negativity and focus on themselves.
“Let Me Live” is as laid back and effortlessly cool as Blacc Licorish herself. In a world full of hate, she doesn’t let it get to her; instead, she glides through the negativity with a calm and collected attitude. She also remains unapologetically true to herself, inspiring others to do the same, no matter what the world throws at them. The song’s message may be simple, but the production is anything but, with a chill, neo-soul funk melody that lifts her airy vocals and creates a vibe that makes listeners feel like they’re floating.
