Devon based neo-soul act SOUNDS LIKE LILY release sparkling debut EP
Acclaimed artist Sounds Like Lily, fronted by 18-year-old sensation Lily Mackay has announced the release of her debut EP, Glad I Met Ya. The seven-track offering was released on Thursday 10th November via Spotify and all streaming platforms.
A collaboration with multi-instrumentalist Rowland O’Connor, the EP was recorded in her native Devon with producers Jimi Stewart and Tommy Williams (Arlo Parks, Bonobo, Beka, Hearing Aid Beige). The EP draws on a rich lineage of soul - with jazz, pop and hip-hop influences - to produce a lush contemporary sound akin to Yebba or D’Angelo.
Known for her incredible voice, Lily also shows off her skills as a songwriter on the release - writing all the lyrics and co-writing each track. She also co-produced.
The EP comes out on the back of three singles (Penny, Daydreaming and The Feeling) which made a splash on Spotify and on some choice blogs. There’s also an EP launch gig in their native Totnes on the release date.
“Having worked together for the last four years, seeing our EP released is a huge thing for me. This project has opened up so many opportunities, the love and support we have received so far has been amazing. Even though it has been a bit stop-start the last couple of years, I’m glad it’s happened how it has - we are both really happy with our work.” Lily explains.
“I’m really proud of the songs Lily and I have made here, but beyond that I think they are also a wonderful display of the talent, professionalism and creativity of our small but magical local area at every stage of it’s development. I can’t wait for people to hear it in it’s entirety.” Rowland added.
Glad I Met Ya is available on Spotify and other streaming platforms on Thursday 10th November.
