JAZZ SOUL CHANTEUSE
"She can belt out a song, dramatize a lyric, swing hard and earthy, flirt, sing a tender song - Lily can 'tell a story'." (Jim McLeod, ABC)
"Her lyric voice, at times tender, at others forceful, is pure and clear, and her pitch spot on throughout. Her singing seems to tap into her innermost feelings... beautifully conveying each song’s significance... she fills the stage in a graceful and effortless manner and has a great understanding of and working relationship with her band."
