ALBUM & LIVE REVIEWS
TENDERLY (feat. GILAD HEKSELMAN), 2017
Released December 1st 2017.
Jazz Weekly, a jazzmagazine based in California, has a very nice review in their March issue. I am grateful and happy for it all, and for being mentioned as a FEMALE VOCAL GEM among such great company of singers like Kate McGarry, Madeleine and Sunny Wilkinson !✨ 😊👌
"Vocalist Lilly does an impressive collection of cozy duets with guitarist Gilad Hekselman" (...)
"Her voice is warm and calm, and she feels completely relaxed in this setting, using space as a sound..." (...)
" Hekselman delivers dainty intros like flowing drapery on a glistening “Skylark” and sparkling “Day Dream” while some creative pedal work creates a pastoral “You’re Everything. Gentleness and gentility at its best."

“Gentleness and gentility at its best”
“... listening to her, while she is being accompanied by Gilad - that has the stuff of legend” (....) “Lilly’s authenticity is unsurpassable” (...) “His playing in “Skylark” urges this, all the intros, accompaniments and soli are unique works of art”. (...) “End result: This duo is a new, very tall, bright lighthouse in the variety of this kind of duo occupation”.

“Tenderly is a truly supurb recording, which rightly raises the expectations for her next effort ”
A really nice review from The New York City Jazz Record in their February 2018 issue! The same magazine, that a.o. placed the album as Top 5 Best Vocal Release 2017 i their January Issue! I am SO grateful and happy about these positive vibes from The Big Apple..the Capital of Jazz, NYC!
