Lyonn - We'll Light The Sky

Happy Easter to you all, once more. I've caught you all in a sugar induced coma, so I'm going to take advantage of you all, pin you down and make you listen to some more excellent music as we wend our way through a rather fabulous (and much needed) long weekend.

Today I'd really like to share with you a lovely Californian duo called Lyonn, who very kindly contacted me yesterday to ask if I'd review their new EP, So I'm going to, because you deserve it.

First of all, as always with me, here at the necessaries.

Now then. Their new EP is called "We'll Light The Sky" and it is officially released on Tuesday 7th April. You'll be able to listen and download from their bandcamp site, but also from iTunes too.

So what can it offer you? Quite a lot, I'd say. These are gently wistful songs, really lovely and lulling. Opener "Empty Bed" is a prime example of this - it's got such a nice, soulful, heartfelt lyric and vocal. Title track "We'll Light The Sky" is just as engaging too. "Shining Eyes" is the track that provides the contrast on the EP, nicely chippy and staccato in rhythm, it's one you can move to and for me, is the stand out song on the collection. End track "Iceberg" is a great finish, it's got a lovely feeling of space to it, floaty and feather like.

This is an EP that should appeal to fans of really good, solid, emotionally charged pop. The songs are well written and crafted and feel beautifully mixed and produced. It's an EP that provides a perfect contrast to yesterday's offerings on the blog, but one that is just as worthy of adding to your collections.
