“The face is a threshold where a world looks out and a world looks in on itself. With every listen to Chris Isaak’s Wicked Game I seem to always return enriched. It is one of the most intense and direct glimpses into another’s hidden world. I hope you will enjoy my cover.”
Blurring the boundaries between indie music, filmic orchestration, and electronic music, Lydia’s debut ‘Right From Real’ thrives on haunting melodies and draws inspiration from a wide range of musical sources – Verdi’s Requiem, Ace of Base, Bulgarian Choirs, Bernard Herrmann, Tones on Tail, Art of Noise… just to name a few. This unexpected marriage of influence flows throughout much of Lydia’s previous work which features use of voice sampling and string arrangements woven into a unique pop fabric.
