"An exceptionally good female composer-singer-songwriter, sailing way above the usual. She writes in a way that combines accessible experimentation and emotive melody reminiscent of Peter Gabriel at his best, whilst her luscious and romantic voice dares to evoke comparisons to Kate Bush. Yes, that good Lily Green has a beautiful, easy, unforced voice that you rarely hear, matched with a genuine talent for production and composition - the kind of talent you can't put a finger on, but know when you hear it. This is something special."

"Astonishing music. It's great to celebrate someone who can play, and write original, moving songs."
Adam Walton, BBC Radio Wales
“A feminine riposte to current guitar hegemony and worth seeking out.”
Tasty Fanzine
"… it's terrific… classical gas shriek-pop for piano, harpsichord and electronics. It could be recommended to fans of Bjork, Joanna Newsom, Tori Amos or Faun Fables, but doesn't sound especially like any of them, and certainly nothing like anyone else from this general area.” Buzz
".Lily Green, who's debut eight-tracker restores your belief in words fast becoming over-used: "ideology", "passion", and "eclecticism". The serrated wall-crashes of 'With Us Or' through the processed-stacato electronic ubiquity of 'Two Worlds', closing out with the simple unadorned piano elegy 'Starry Sky'. This never feels like an exercise in a 'look at me' diversity, more a natural selection from an artist who is simply too talented not to go everywhere.There is boundless promise at every turn here."
Taking Notes
“… eclectic and original. She seems more than comfortable mixing classical and modern electronic elements, has a great ear for wonderful songwriting but is not afraid to experiment and mix things up, plus her fantastic vocal style stands out on every track.”
Progressive Ears
“The most striking thing about Lily - aside from the way her lightning fast fingers attack the keyboard - is the sheer passion and intensity of her performances. spellbinding.”
Silent Words Speak Loudest
Lily Green is a solo artist currently living in the UK. In a music world dominated by guitar bands/songwriters Lily has a refreshingly original sound. Her songs are a unique balance and blend of listenability, classical virtuosity, emotion and modern experimentation.
Classically trained as a pianist, vocalist and flautist, Lily felt her artistic expression was stifled by the rigidity of the classical music world. After some time off from this environment, Lily began writing original music in a more contemporary style, combining talented musicianship and composition in a progressive, yet listenable context.
Drawing on her musical training, Lily portrays classical keyboard instruments in a synthesis with the technological. Piano and harpsichord are sometimes familiar, while at other times they are processed and altered, and surrounded by her creative style of electronic programming. Lily’s unusual mix of instrumentation and bold experimental approach sees her unable to be easily placed into existing musical genres. Instead, her sound is her own, truly unique from all others.
