CD Reviews: Lily Wood &the Prick

Ah, those funky quirky French and their curious band names, Lily Wood & the Prick is a duo formed in a Paris cafe back in 2006 with a collective love of mashing up genres, specifically pop, folk and soul.

The Fight is the kind of album that could easily be dismissed as mere elevator drivel on a cursory listen, but that would be a real shame.

Given time to breathe and some decent bass cans, the cleverness of the compositions, great groove and vocalist Nili Hadida's voice, that glides effortlessly from sickly saccharine to sultry huskiness, really pay dividends. C'est super!

  • The Fight. Lily Wood & the Prick. Cinq 7.
  • 4 stars out 5.
