"With a sultry voice as smooth as melted butter, Lilli Lewis croons a lush blend of jazz and R&B sensibilities, backed by utterly masterful instrumentation. Sometimes melancholy and always deeply mature, the music...will move you on multiple levels.î

"There is a special hush that abounds when the voice of Lilli Lewis hits the air. The classically trained vocalist finds her style of Soul/R&B/Folk & Jazz during her music exposure into a well of rich cultural diversity.
If ever there was a recipe for elegance Lilli has it. The cool vocal control of her velvet sound will alert you in a moment that you are in the presence of something very special.
The CD release of "Silhouette" brings us the songs "Like I love Lovin You" and "Mortal Self" that are absolutely a must hear. We are hooked. eSoundz calls this "Chart material"."

"Mapping jazz intonations over...classically trained vocals, Lilli Lewis' songs of affirmation echo with strength and fragility."

"Words don't do justice to the music Lilli Lewis creates- a true dichotomy of sound. Vocals that straddle the spectrum from Patti (as in Tuck &...) to Oleta Adams, and music that combines intricate jazz chords and syncopated rhythms most singers would need a month to master. Lewis is the light at the end of the tunnel ...innovative, soulful music [that] will never go out of style."

"I will not forget what I heard here tonight."

"Pianist, composer and awe inspiring singer that merges classical, negro spiritual and soul musics. æHer original songs are vocal tour de forces and her covers of Sweet Honey In The Rock material is to die for.
Boston Fielder, MuthaWit, Atlanta, GA
"Lilli Lewis, a chanteuse, a pianist with one of the widest hearts and deftest touches in songwriting I have ever heard...uniquley poignant and heartfelt..."
Tom Daley, poet , Cambridge, MA
"Really interesting and beautifully excecuted songs. One of the wonderful things about the variety of music is that there is something to appeal to every taste. Ms. Lewis knows how to belt out the blues or swoon you into a love song!"
Leah Strohk, Brooklyn, NY
"The CD takes on different genres with each song. You'll hear blues, jazz, and folk along with your musical theatre and Lilli Lewis does them all with soul. The songwriting is complex and unique. Lewis has a great smooth jazzy voice and the musicianship is outstanding. It's transcending. I feel like I've been transported. I am not sure to where, but I like it."
