Description
Singer/songwriter Lili Añel draws varied comparisons - from tTe Beatles to Joni Mitchell to Steely Dan to Nina Simone. Surprisingly, these influences and more are easily audible in her diverse and original repertoire. This artist's forward and wide-open vocals are refreshing, while the melodic hooks of her fearless songs never cease to amaze. Blessed with a soulful croon reminiscent of Nina Simone or Joan Armatrading (whose "Down To Zero" is done justice to here), Añel has put together tales of life, love and heartbreak draped in a number of musical styles.
"Her songwriting is consistently excellent, oftimes Joni Mitchell sharp, and her wide-ranging but unswervingly thoughtful performances do her songs full justice". - JazzTimes
