Lillix: A Legend in the Making !!!!


Lillix Is Their Own...
They might be cute as all hell, but British Columbian all girl outfit Lilliix are not just your ordinary girl group.
They play their own instruments and list Queen as one of their influences.
Since they hail from Canada, Lillix has been trying real hard to shake comparisons to that other Canadian - Avril Lavigne.
But what Lillix is not, is a pseudo-punk girl group.
They're a quartet - Louise Burns on bass, Kim Urhahn on drums, guitarist Tasha-Ray Evin and her sibling, keyboardist Lacey-Lee and they have a real viable talent.

Because Lillix has worked with such producers as Linda Perry [of 4-Non Blondes fame, and who was responsible for Pink's new musical incarnation], Glen Ballard[Alanis Morissette], and the Matrix[Avril Lavigne] ; that pop edge is still very present, but there is definitely an edgier more refined quality to Lillix's music.

Lillix was introduced to the music world as the group who sang the theme song of the WB show "What I Like About You " [they sang a rendition of the Romantics' classic by the same name] and with the release of their first single "It's About Time " and a album entitled "Falling Uphill ", Lillix is poised to make a lot of noise.

The Evin sisters sing much of the Lillix lead vocals along with Burns and though Im not yet able to discern one from the other, they all have very strong sounds.
"It's About Time " in my eyes is probably one of the weakest tracks from "Falling Uphill " but it has that catchy hook and chorus that makes it memorable so I understand the logic of having it be the first single, it plays to that teen-angst [the girl themselves are teens ] feeling, but the songwriting is perhaps a bit more mature: "Time is creeping behind me, surrounding around me/Fading the words so desperately/Now give me a reason that I can believe in/Time is something you can't rewind "

**** Falling Uphill ****【Lillix】****
Better Than Avril, Not As Good As Canadian Bacon.

As usually happens, some tracks on the CD were even better than their hit.
I really "Tomorrow ": the first song on the track had a wonderful chorus that, surprisingly, didn't even mention the word tomorrow: "And I wake up, put on my makeup/Pick up the phone, nobody's home/I need to break out, get me some takeout/Stand inside a crowd, I want to scream out loud . . . " etc.

The next song, "Quicksand ", was a little bit thicker (like the name) a style.
However, it, too, was a wonderful song.
Then I went straight to "Dirty Sunshine ."
The only song with a curse word-- the s-word-- this song is also a bit slower, and with a different meaning--but a gr8 song nonetheless.
Etc. etc. to "Invisible "--, just --to "Because " and "Promises "--definitely not what I had expected . . . though someday I might like them.
I was simply WOWED by "Fork in the Road ", however, and simply ecstatic the hear the terrific remake of "What I Like About You "--such a great song


Tomorrow - Good lyrics !! 5 stars
Quicksand - Love it !! 4.8 stars
It's About Time - possibly my favorite. The first single off the album, gr8 words, guitar, and vocals. 5 stars
Dirty Sunshine - great song, I think it's the 2nd single. Catchy beat. 4.7 stars
Sick - GREAT rock song!!!!!! Fast lyrics, but thankfully you have the booklet at the front of the CD to help you with those. Wonderful beat and gr8 voice, as usual....4.9 stars
Invisible - I'm still half and half about this one. They sound almost mechanical at first in the chorus. I like the idea of this one, which makes it better. A little slow for me, but still okay. 4.2 stars
24/7 - Good song !! The first sentence is unbelievably hard to understand, and the bookelt doesn't tell you the words to that first part, but great song all in all. 4 1/2 stars
Because - LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE it !! I was told to turn this one down because I was playing it so loudly. 5 stars
Promises - great guitar, and a very good tune. 4.9 stars
Fork in the road - LOVE it !! It's a very girl-band, pop-like song, but don't let that stop you, because it has a gr8 beat. 5 stars
Lost and Confused - like it a lot....if you focus too much on it, you'll see that it's a little depressing, almost! 4.7 stars
What I Like About you - If you watch the TV show, you will love this one even more !! It's a gr8 song, better than the ROmantics version. 5 stars


Overall, ths CD rocked !!!!
This is a pretty impressive debut.
These girls play their own instruments and write their own songs.
Also, this CD is enhanced with a bunch of cool bonuses like the awesome video for "It's About Time " and buddy icons, etc.

While they're targeting that ultra-important TRL crowd, Lillix has enough talent and maturity to stand on their own.
They're definitely part of the "new breed " of musicians that includes talents like Micelle Branch and Vanessa Carlton.
Lillix' music can be best described as a softer, gentler kind of rock music with harmonization and pop-friendly melodies which makes their sound accessible.

If you The Donnas, Avril Lavigne, Michelle Branch, or just good pop rock music, you will this album.
It is guaranteed to stay in your CD player and is the essential beach CD.
Get it now, you won't be disappointed
I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THAT YOU BUY IT.
