Lonesterdam is the latest proposition of Sophie Lillienne project that is known more and more to the audience. Album was released by Hypotron/IRMA records label and for the whole is responsible man called VeZzO, who has experimented in recent years a lot with musicians not only from native Italy, but throughout Europe, as indeed can be heard on the record, because we have there a large variety, starting from trip hop and ending with the dark pop with a large dose of hypnotic synthesizers and inserts of classical music. Although vocal melodic lines are simple, often (but) flat and obvious, particular attention is draw by uniquely well-sounding voice of the vocalist, that introduces there specific, disturbing atmosphere.
The album is quite intriguing and consistent. It enchants with a bit sleepy, mysterious mood, enhanced by the violin and piano. However, there is a lack of a strong kick. I am not saying, of course, about stadium like hits, but more determined melodies, slightly stronger tones, maybe with a more dramatic character. I also do not claim that I do not see the potential there (even great one), just listen to the track 420 and These Days (!), but it seems that at this stage the proposal from Sophie Lillienne is only a poorer version of the Recoil.
