Neo Soul Artist Liyah Bey Shares New Single + Video 'Million Dollar Girl'

Los Angeles-based neo soul artist Liyah Bey released her newest single "Million Dollar Girl" along with a wild music video featuring explosives and cloak-and-dagger espionage. Known for blending her love of classic R&B with modern pop aesthetics to create powerful settings for her extraordinary vocal chops. Born and raised in Israel, Liyah was encouraged to nurture her natural talent by her mother from a very young age and began writing at the age of 17.

"For me, it's all about emotional resiliency in the face of everything life throws at us," Liyah said about her music. "And sometimes, it's just about having fun and wanting to dance." She rose to national prominence as a teen during her extraordinary 2-year run in celebrated review, "Lady Soul, A Tribute to Aretha Franklin." Following the success of her Lady Soul performances, Liyah knew it was time to leave her home behind and go straight to the source.

In New York, Liyah found herself being embraced by many generations of artists, recording in the Sony Studios with Kool and the Gang and even stepping in for Lauryn Hill to perform onstage with the Fugees for their concert in Moscow. Liyah was determined to follow her own path and decided it was time to focus on her writing. Excited by the musical scene in Los Angeles, she relocated to the West Coast where she worked feverishly to hone her already seasoned songwriting.

Her first single, "Can't Stop Loving You," a heartbreaking ballad showcasing Liyah's expressive vocal power and fluid emotional range has, in short order, has garnered 600,000 views on Facebook and has primed her rapidly expanding fan base for what is to come: the fierce, playful, neo-soul-pop of "Million Dollar Girl."

Liyah is currently preparing an album for release in 2018.
