“The idea of love being something you could get good at — almost win at — began knocking around in my head,” says Alex Lilly about “I’m Getting Better at Falling in Love,” the song that serves the emotional centerpiece of her new album Repetition Is A Sin (out now on Release Me Records, the boutique label run by Inara George of The Bird and The Bee.)

“I’d begun dating someone and it had felt so much easier —like I didn’t feel sick to my stomach half the time,” Lilly reveals. “It felt like we were equal players. I’d been lifting my love muscles lately, so it felt like I was able to really love this new person.

“The idea of bragging about it in song seemed so funny and I wanted to explore that ridiculousness. You really can get better at falling in love!”

“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” 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!”

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 “Pure Drivel” 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.”

The choreographed video for the tune, filmed in and around a Berlin library, is streaming now.
