“Melinda’s spirit of talent and hotness is all over this song,” Lilly says. “At first I was worried that the lyrics came on too strong but, I was inspired!”

“During the early pandemic days when I lost all my
work, I started composing jingles and theme songs for people,” explains Alex Lilly of how “Melinda,” from her upcoming new album Repetition Is A Sin (Oct. 21, Release Me Records) came to be.
Lilly continues, “I have a hetero-girl crush on the
supremely talented and unique, Melinda
Sullivan. Melinda’s man asked me
to write a jingle for her. Melinda’s
jingle is a true story! We appeared in a music video together, pretended to
kiss, and... oh, those lips! We also played at The Gardenia, so the song is a play-by-play! I was delighted when
she agreed to give me a tap lesson for the ‘Melinda’ video.”
“Melinda” also features saxophone by James King from Fitz &
The Tantrums, drums by Barbara
Gruska from Belle Brigade, and
bass by Gabe Noel.
“Melinda’s
spirit of talent and hotness is all over this song,” Lilly says. “At first I was worried that the lyrics came on too
strong but when you’re inspired, you’ve got to go for it!”
Repetition Is A Sin, the second solo album by Alex Lilly, arrives October
21, 2022 via Release Me Records,
preceded by the single “Pure Drivel,”
out now.

Alex Lilly | “Pure Drivel”

According to The New York Public Library, since 1982, libraries across the United States have observed Banned Books Week, a time to highlight titles that were targeted for removal from schools and libraries. In 2022, there has been a particularly aggressive wave of bans and challenges across America.
The American Library Association, which pioneered Banned Books Week, has reported a record amount of books banned in recent years—many of which center people of color and LGBTQ+ voices.
Alex Lilly’s current single “Pure Drivel,” taken from her upcoming album Repetition Is A Sin (Oct. 21, Release Me Records) addresses the subject in song, in which she sings “I know you canceled all your plans, so come over, let’s read some books that got banned.”
