‘Re-Open The World’ is a collection of 10 immaculately crafted songs. Lily’s songwriting across the album captures beautiful vignettes of her experiences in life so far. Perceptive lyrics, delivered in a voice for the ages, examine the multiplicities of self, giving space to it all whilst believing in the power of music to soothe and to heal.
She cites Simon and Garfunkel, Nick Drake and Joni Mitchell as formative influences, whilst for her debut album, Lisa Marchiano’s feminist text The Vital Spark provided huge inspiration. The book celebrates Lilith, the woman said to have come before Eve, who refused to be of Adam and was thus labelled the “anti-mother”.
“An ensnaring combination of ethereal melodies, precise enunciation and haunting, up-close vocals.” - Sunday Times Culture
