Blending elements of acoustic blues, vintage soul, and conscious hip-hop into a mixture that's expressive yet deeply personal, Son Little is the alias of Aaron Livingston, a singer, instrumentalist, and songwriter who divides his time between his own music and collaborations with others. On his first album, 2015's Son Little, the music was a challenging mixture of soul and R&B grooves with a classic bent filtered through a production that mixed the elements like a hip-hop producer would assemble a beat. 2017's New Magic was recorded after Livingston toured the debut album with a live band, giving the material a more natural and organic sound. 2020's Aloha represented a middle ground, with Little playing nearly all the instruments with an aim toward a naturalistic approach, while 2022's Like Neptune was an introspective project created as the musician was coming to terms with trauma from his past.
