There is a sense of arrival on LIV, the new EP from Ashlee Keating. Across three tracks, Keating sounds confident, expressive, and fully in command of her voice, delivering a project that feels bright, emotional, and sure of itself.

Released January 16, 2026, LIV is Keating’s first project released through her own AshPop Records and distributed via Bungalo Records in partnership with Universal Music Group. Executive produced by Tommy Brown, the EP carries a polished pop sheen while leaving space for personality to come through. Themes of confidence, attraction, and self-trust move naturally through the record, tied together by a clear emotional throughline and a strong point of view.

The title track, “LIV,” opens the EP with undeniable momentum. It is bold, playful, and full of movement, a song that celebrates self-expression without overthinking it. Keating’s vocals move with control and power, turning confidence into contagious energy. The track feels made for moments when high vibrations and self-belief take the lead, loud enough to uplift, clear enough to stick.

That energy takes on a more personal shape on “Both Sides.” The song centers on the choice to love yourself fully, not just the polished or easy parts, but the pressure, contradiction, and complexity that come with being human. Keating approaches the idea with warmth and clarity, framing acceptance as something intentional and empowering. The result is a song that feels honest and affirming without slipping into cliché.

The EP closes with “Moments,” a track that sharpens the emotional focus of the project. Rather than retreating, it leans forward, allowing melody and repetition to carry meaning. Keating’s delivery feels open and assured, emphasizing resilience, gratitude, and the awareness that certain experiences deserve to be held onto as they happen. The song leaves a lasting impression without reaching for drama.

Keating has been performing professionally since childhood, with early appearances on Star Search, Broadway stages, and recognition as a Radio Disney Up and Coming Artist. Those foundations have grown into a career that balances experience with momentum. On LIV, that balance feels intentional, informed by growth and creative clarity.

Throughout the EP, Keating pairs full pop star presence with smooth, R&B influenced vocals, allowing emotion and confidence to reinforce one another. The songwriting remains witty and deeply emotional, rooted in real feeling and delivered with precision.

On LIV, Ashlee Keating presents a project that feels cohesive, assured, and forward-facing. It captures an artist with a clear sense of direction, building her pop world with confidence and control.
