    Lillix: A Legend in the making

    By Darryl  Jun 11, 2003 | 3 out of 3 found this Falling Uphill review helpful

    One day I got this e-mail about this new band from Canada called Lillix and at first I didn't pay any attention. Finally one day I listened to "It's About Time" and I thought it was a catchy, upbeat song. It was enough to get me hoo...ked. I bought the album the day it came out and it hasn't left my CD player yet. Falling Uphill is probably the best debut album from any band or artist in a long time. Tasha-Ray Evans is only 17 years old but she plays the guitar like a pro. I believe she is well on her way to being one of the best female guitar players out there. Lacey-Lee Evans is Tasha's older sister (Lacey is 19) and she plays the keyboards. Louise Burns is the 17 year old bass player and she is one of the best bass players I have heard in a while. Kim Urhahn is the 23 year old drummer and she is absolutely awesome behind the skins.A lot of people like to compare Lillix to Avril Lavigne and Michelle Branch but I don't think that's a fair comparison. They do have certain similairities to these and other artists but these girls are unique. The lead vocals are shared between Lacey-Lee, Tasha-Ray, and Louise and this shared vocal arrangement works amazingly well. There isn't that many albums out there that I can say I love every song on the album but Falling Uphill is one of those albums that doesn't have a bad song on the album. Every song is absolutely awesome. The girls also write almost every song on the album by themselves. They had help from The Matrix and Linda Perry on a couple songs and they did an incredible cover of "What I Like About You" that rivals the original version by The Romantics. These girls rock, they are extremely talented, and I believe they have a very bright long future in music. I highly recommend everyone buy this album and show support for this talented band that is bringing rock n roll back into the main stream! Read more Less

    Uninspired and Unoriginal

    By J  May 28, 2003 | 6 out of 10 found this Falling Uphill review helpful

    With tracks slicked over by The Matrix production/writing group and the full support of MTV, Lillix would seem poised for success in todays market. Unfortunately, beyond the glitzy wrapping paper of this package is minimal substance and a yawner of a... debut which does little to dispel the stereotype that its all about pretty faces and not about talent in music.Rock and roll has always been a partyers crowd that heralds sex and drugs, so when it comes to rocking out 4 gorgeous Canadian teens are short on credibility and it becomes painfully obvious in their music. The guitars are stunted and restrained, the drums too clean, the voices too perky. The band tries to differentiate itself from the rest of the teen crowd with power chords and recognizable riffs, but ultimately dont stray very far and become derivative and forgettable. Listeners who enjoy young girl pop-rock would be better served listening to The Donnas or the harder cuts from Avril Lavignes Let Go album, which are no more unique but at least more strongly produced aggressive.Keeping more than one voice in the melodic forefront of any music is always challenging, and Lillix falls into the trap of relying on and recycling the same underdeveloped harmonies to carry them through chorus after chorus. There is an obvious abundance of vocal talent here amongst the girls, but also an absence of real passion or identity in their singing. The shallow depth of their all too common teen-oriented lyrics, excepting those of the touching Quicksand, or Promises, does little to attract an audience beyond the MTV Total Request Live crowd.If flavor of the week teen music is your thing, Lillix may keep you happy for a month of so. If you are expecting profound lyrics or agressive rock or some modicum of originality, youd best look elsewhere. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Falling Uphill

  • All Music Guide

    Lillix is the musical equivalent of a vintage rock roll T-shirt, recycled and re-tailored to fit the smooth contours of a fashion model's figure. Guitarist Tasha Ray-Evin, bassist Louise Burns, keyboardist Lacey-Lee Evin, and drummer Kim Urhahn are accomplished musicians, and the sisters Evin and Burns each own strong singing voices. But no matter how many times they drop impressive classic rock names like Queen, Supertramp, or even Thin Lizzy in answer to interviewers' questions of influence, there's no getting around the fact that their Maverick debut Falling Uphill is a soft-focus yawner. In actuality, Lillix' closest reference is likely the lush, radio-ready pop of the Bangles. While Prince famously penned the Bangles' breakthrough single "Manic Monday", Lillix' "It's About Time" benefits from the red-hot writing and production skills of The Matrix - Scott Spock, Lauren Christy, and Graham Edwards - who are responsible for the Avril Lavigne calling cards "Complicated" and "SK8ER B...oi". Both bands even feature a sisterly duo at their core. Read more Less
