“I’m getting so good, gotta mind to do it full-time,” sings Lilly, “whose music is to the current plethora of pop what a Picasso is to a selfie.”

Alex Lilly | “Melinda”

“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!”

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 “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.”
