Marking a definite shift in Rosie Belvie’s artistic direction, ‘Living My Life’ sees the Sydney-based songstress taking a step back from her usual R&B and hip-hop character, instead finding a worthy refuge in uplifting and electrifying disco-funk territories. Enlisting the help of her brother Johnny Bullz (of Bullzeye Beats), Belvie channels all her retro fashion influences, penning a disco-flavoured anthem that’s uplifting and catchy, the right blend of lush melodies and funky guitars.
Despite the changes in sonic references, one thing remains the same: Rosie’s vocals, constantly incredibly elegant and expressive. In fact, it’s refreshing to be able to observe Belvie in such a different context. Her R&B roots still manage to emerge from time to time, drenching ‘Living My Life’ in class and charisma. Overall, this is not a record that seeks to reinvent the wheel; instead, it focuses on providing three minutes of aural euphoria that will be hard to forget.
The song’s lyricism follows suit, sparking a journey of empowerment and independence in any keen listener out there. As Rosie explains: “It’s written from the perspective of no longer caring what others think, letting haters hate and standing in one’s power to embrace all the quirky, groovy and fun aspects of life.”
