Louisa Livingstone has a story worth telling. She was the anonymous "witch" haunting the cover of Black Sabbath's 1970 self titled debut, that shadowy figure standing by the water on the record that basically invented heavy metal. Her identity stayed a mystery for decades. Then, around the album's 50th anniversary right before the pandemic hit, the reveal finally landed: it was her.
Turns out Livingstone has been busy in her own right. She models, she acts, and she makes electronic music under the moniker Indreba. Now she's back with something ambitious.
Her new project is called Alice, a psychedelic rock opera about artificial intelligence, built with the help of AI itself. It's a full concept piece, the kind of swing that feels bigger than a single track. The premise alone is a stunner.
From a spooky album cover in 1970 to an AI rock opera in the present. That is a career arc nobody could have scripted, and it rules.
