Soul fuelled vocal tones and distinctive flow demonstrate Lily McKenzie’s songwriting prowess.
Describing the emotion behind Good Thing she shares, “I wrote ‘Good Thing’ a year ago, at a time where I felt like ‘something real’ seemed so far away in what felt like a ‘throw away world’…We all want something honest and authentic- ‘Good Things’ don’t always come easy, but the song celebrates staying true to yourself, because when they do come around – they mean so much more.”
Continuing to champion rising singer-songwriters on his label, Sonny Fodera showcases Lily McKenzie’s skyrocketing talent for the first time on Solotoko. Her hybrid style of RnB, and electronic pop finds its home in Forever Young, boasting pulsing progressions and lustrous vocals that will cause a stir on dance floors and beyond.
