Following the release of her new single ‘This Is It’, Kent singer-songwriter Lily Madison shares the artists who’ve shaped her sound
From the soft rock icons of the 90s to the newer names carrying that spirit forward today, these are the picks behind the atmosphere of ‘This Is It’, and a preview of the influences running through her upcoming EP.
My 5 favourite albums ever is suchhhh a hard question because I listen to such a wide range but the immediate one that comes to mind is Grace by Jeff Buckley, its so timeless and I feel like hes lost a lot of credit because hes now seen as someone "performative" people listen to but I own the book Jeff Buckley In His Own Words which has pages of his songbook/diary and his talent is undeniable.
Another is Made In The AM by 1D because they're the band that got me into music in the first place and was my introduction to music as a child, and i feel bad for saying it since Zayns not on it but I think musically this was their peak and its devastating they never made anything else as I'd have loved to hear how their sound evolved.
My next one is Cuts and Bruises by Inhaler because theyre my second favourite band of all time and all my favourite of their songs are from this album such as Perfect Storm.
GUTS (spilled) is another obvious choice, this is my favourite of Olivia Rodrigos albums because even though SOUR came out when she was 17 and Im now 17 I feel like she truly encapsulates being a teenage girl in GUTS for me and its so relatable.
To put 5 as my favourite albums ever is so hard but I think my final would have to be either Nothing Happens or Tell ME That It's Over by Wallows, these songs bring me so much nostalgia and I get such a surreal feeling each time a track plays!
