Press Release --
Giveaway: Win the Latest from Christina, Leela, Lucy, and the Ladies of Lilith
If your iPod is begging for some new material, we have an easy fix – we want to give you 4 awesome albums from a diverse group of talented female musicians.
Our very special musical prize pack includes:
Lucy Woodward “Hooked!”
The 11-song album showcases Woodward’s engaging, expressive vocals and witty, insightful songwriting on such memorable originals as “He Got Away,” “Purple Heart,” “Slow Recovery” and “Too Much to Live For.” Another highlight is “Another Woman,” especially written for Lucy by admirer Nellie McKay, who lends her harmony vocals to the track. Woodward’s gifts as an interpreter of outside material are showcased on her distinctive readings of such vintage tunes as the obscure Peggy Lee number “Sans Souci,” Hoagy Carmichael’s 1930s pop standard “Stardust” and “I Wan’na Be Like You (The Monkey Song),” originally sung by Louis Prima in Disney’s The Jungle Book.
Leela James “My Soul”
“The title of the album pretty much says it all,” James explains. “I just wanted to go into the studio and do what moved me at the time, and not think about it too much or not allow it to be something that was too planned. That’s what great soul music has always been about from the very beginning – something very raw, very authentic and very true.”
Christina Aguilera “Bionic”
Bionic features songs co-written by Aguilera along with her much buzzed about collaborations including Sia, Tricky Stewart, Polow Da Don, Le Tigre, Hill & Switch, and Ladytron among others. Aguilera notes, “Working on this album with so many talented artists and producers that I admire was really an amazing experience. The artists I chose to work with added so many unique sonic layers to Bionic. My intention was to step into their world and what they do combined with my own vision and sound. The results were magic.” The album also features a ballad produced and written by Linda Perry titled “Lift Me Up.” The title Bionic reflects Aguilera’s ability to take her range to new levels and use her voice in various ways never heard before.
Lilith 2010
This special collection offers an abundant selection of songs from some of Lilith 2010’s most anticipated performances including Rihanna’s “Russian Roulette,” Ke$ha’s “TiK ToK,” Court Yard Hounds’ “The Coast,” Colbie Caillat’s “Fallin’ For You,” to Norah Jones’ “Chasing Pirates,” Corinne Bailey Rae’s “The Blackest Lily,” as well as Lilith co-founder Sarah McLachlan’s “One Dream,” to name a few album highlights.
“This compilation represents an amazing cross section of artists performing on Lilith in 2010. Simply great music,” comments Lilith co-founder Terry McBride.
