Lissie Forever


American singer/songwriter Lissie should be bigger than what she is IMO. Her 2010 debut album "Catching A Tiger" is still one of my favourite albums of the past five years, it was home to brilliant singles 'When I'm Alone' and 'Cuckoo', and equally brilliant album tracks 'Little Lovin' and 'Oh Mississippi' to name a few. Well she disappeared for a bit and returned in May with the lead single from her as-of-then untitled new album, 'Shameless'. I loved 'Shameless', it sounded both old and new for her and struck the right mix between alt rock and pop with lyrics about selling out in order to be famous. It naturally didn't sell and she's moving on to single number 2, the awfully named 'Further Away (Romance Police)'. It's a rollicking, poppier Lissie reminiscent of 'When I'm Alone', it's quite good. Anyway, she's broken cover for the second album entitled "Back To Forever" which you can view below, it will be available in Aus on September 13. Can't wait!
