ALANNA LYES is a British singer, pianist and songwriter. More by accident than design she became the go-to session singer and top-line writer for the Electro Swing community creating melodies and contributing vocals to numerous songs for labels including Wagram, Ragtime Records, Electro Swing Thing and Adapted. Here she worked with numerous producers including Riff Kitten, Wolfgang Lohr, Balduin, Emma Clair, Varrick Frost and Duke Skellington.

Taking creative control, she subsequently decided to focus instead on a solo path. Working with guest producers and a new label, Freshly Squeezed, she began a long-form album project dropping down the tempo but turning up the heat to create a smouldering new sound that is all her own.

Sultry, confessional and highly personal lyrics fuse with a dark, contemporary and jazz-infused electronica. Lush and deep, this music will whisper in your ear one minute and slap you round the face the next!

Producers Atom Smith and Riff Kitten have worked with her to craft a debut album of darker leftfield pop.

“It’s not often that an artist comes along with a totally unique sound, but that is what Alanna Lyes has managed to do here.” (Chris Swinglis Blog)

“Simply breathtaking… unique, but more importantly coherent. Listening to the Lies Here from start to finish is a consistent experience, and one you can get lost in.” (York Calling) Read more on Last.fm.
