[Video] Lili K: "Interlude"
Earlier this morning, angelic singer Lili K released the video for "Interlude" off of her most recent EP, My Favorite Things. The brightly-colored, bubble gum-like video features Lili and her band performing in a music hall interspersed with scenes of her serenading a mystery man (whose back of the head looks oddly familiar...), culminating with a sudden twist at the end. If you've never seen Lili perform live, this "Interlude" video gives you an idea of just how much fun and comfortability she has with her backing band.
If you liked "Interlude," you'll love the rest of My Favorite Things. Before long, you'll find yourself calling Lili K's songs some of your favorite things.
"I live in a dream for a moment, we'd loved in a midnight solitude, but I never knew at the moment, love was just an interlude." The Dizzie Gillespie penned jazz standard, "Interlude," is given a new life with Lili K's playful arrangement, matched beautifully with production by Peter Cottontale. The young vocalist appears with her band in the romantic and dreamy visual, directed by Addison Wright and J Frank Visuals, and a mysterious lover serves as the sole audience member of Lili's vivid dream. Accompanying the lyrics of "Interlude" perfectly, the bright backdrops and magical imagery create a lovable and charming video.

[Video] Lili K: "Highlight the Moon"
It's been a good week for Chicagoan singer Lili K. In a week where her features on Chance the Rapper's "Acid Rap" received some much-deserved praise from publications such as the LA Times, the very talented singer released the video for her latest single off of her EP, "Metal Petals." Entitled "Highlight the Moon," the video, which was co-directed by Addison Wright and Lili K herself, showcases the ups and downs of the fictional relationship between Lili and Chicago tattoo artist extraordinaire Jason Hoodrich. The use of a Super 8-esque filter adds a soft, nostalgic saturation to the video that perfectly matches the song's reflective theme. It's always the attention to details that can help elevate the level of quality; good choice, guys.
You can download "Metal Petals" on Lili K's website here. If you're in Chicago, be sure to check out Lili K. and Peter CottonTale live TONIGHT at The Shrine (2109 S. Wabash) at 7pm for free!
