Livia's Easy Listening & Acoustic Medleys
Sometimes you just need music that hits different. Here is a collection of my favorite chill covers, acoustic pop, and mashups that focus on storytelling.
A relaxed, vacation-vibe cover of "Kiss Me" by Sixpence None the Richer. This is a great example of a simple, sweet song that focuses on clear tone and gentle delivery.
A mashup of "When I Was Your Man" by Bruno Mars and "Glimpse of Us" by Joji. Creating mashups is a fun way to be creative and learn how different melodies and chords can work together.
A medley of two beautiful songs, "Dandelions" by Ruth B. and "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen. I love blending songs to create a new emotional arc and story.
Covering "Just a Kiss" by Lady A. This song brings in elements of country-pop, which is great for practicing storytelling and clear, narrative-driven singing.
A classic love song, "You're Still the One" by Shania Twain. Timeless ballads like this are perfect for honing your emotional expression and vocal sincerity.
My take on "Say You Won't Let Go" by James Arthur. This is a modern pop ballad that requires a balance of soft verses and a powerful, emotional chorus.
An acoustic cover of "Ocean Eyes" by Billie Eilish. This song is all about creating an intimate, breathy vocal style, which is a great technique for adding texture to your singing.
Singing "Coastline" by Hollow Coves. This indie-folk song has a peaceful, flowing melody that's perfect for practicing smooth vocal lines and a relaxed delivery.
A cover of "Brighter Than Sunshine" by Aqualung. This is a feel-good indie-pop song that's great for practicing a light, optimistic vocal tone.
A late-night cover of "Breathe (2AM)" by Anna Nalick. This song is a perfect example of how to convey vulnerability and emotion in a softer, more introspective way.
About Easy Listening & Medleys
Most people just copy a song, but I love taking two tracks—like that Bruno Mars and Joji mashup—and blending them until they feel like one new, original story. If you’re looking for a cover that isn’t just a karaoke version but actually feels personal, this is the style I pour my heart into.
Why I Love the Slow Stuff
There is a special kind of magic in stripping a song down to just the vocals and a simple instrument. When you take away the heavy production, you can't hide. That is what "easy listening" really means to me—it is honest.
Whether I am working on a classic ballad or a modern indie track, the goal is always the same: storytelling. If you have heard my take on "Ocean Eyes" or that "Dandelions" medley, you know I am not just hitting notes; I am trying to make you feel the lyrics.
What Goes Into a Medley?
Creating a medley is not just picking two songs that sound nice together. It is about finding the shared emotional frequency. I spend a lot of time mapping out the transition, making sure the vocal range fits, and ensuring the vibe doesn't break when we switch keys.
Here is what I focus on:
- Breath Control: Essential for those soft, breathy indie-pop tones.
- Diction & Intent: You have to believe every word, especially in acoustic settings where every syllable counts.
- Dynamic Range: Even in a "chill" set, you need to know when to pull back and when to let the emotion rise.
If you are hiring me for an event in Bengaluru or looking to learn how to craft these kinds of arrangements, it is all about creating a mood that lets people breathe and actually listen. Let's make some music that sticks.
