Lillian Blue Makin‘s debut album Primary Language is an all-embracing work that satisfyingly blends folk and country music with freethinking hip-hop sensibilities – giving audiences a look into the life of a pensive young woman who is just trying to make sense of it all. While the energy of each track ranges from sobering and organic to upbeat and groove-driven, the album maintains a consistent focus on themes of connection, presence, and growth.
Lillian sings with a voice that is both strong and vulnerable as it draws in lingering influences of blues and country music that are carried through in her lyrics. Her sweet-n-raspy lilt carries a weighty presence as it weaves through each song and creates a vibe that is comforting and intimate. Occasionally playful and consistently profound, Makin‘s songwriting paints a clear picture of a young person who is wise beyond her years while still being happily immersed in the passion and confusion of youth. Notable moments on the 11-track album include the reflective sweetness of “Love My City“, the buoyant and bouncy soul of “FEE FI FO“, an elegant acoustic number called “Nicotine“, a slinky and spicy funk number called “Cooch 22“, and an easy-flowing country piece called “Melancholy Kind O’ Romance“.
