I attended a Bird & the Bee concert in Connecticut last week, and their opening act was Alex Lilly, AKA Obi Best. Like most of the crowd there, I had never heard of her up to that point.... But they sure know who she is now, and you will too! She, along with a guitarist (Wendy Wang) played almost the entire Cd live. She is a keyboard virtuoso and her lyrics are sweet, funny at times, and always interesting. If you enjoy good tunes with great instrumental hooks, give Obi Best a listen. You won't be sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars 4 M's - Memorable, Magical and Marvelously Maven, August 25, 2008

A fresh breath of airy music! Every single song on this is catchy and sets a magical landscape. Fav tracks are Nothing can come between us, It's because of people like you, green and white stripes and days of decadence! These songs take me back to that magical time when you are a little kid playing in different worlds. In many ways similar to bird and the bee and stereolabish, this music is definitely substantial and belongs in the ears of music tastemakers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blooms like flowers, it really does, April 19, 2010

Mesmerizing, beautiful, progressive pop. Anyone that likes St. Vincent, or the more artistic side of Bird & the Bee would love this album, unbelievable songwriting craft, lyrics and music, brains and beauty. The lyrics alone are worth the price of the album, and the music is light years ahead of what passes as pop music today. Check out "Because of People Like You", "Nothing Can Come Between Us", "Blooms like Flowers", every song is a rare gift to the world. This is an album you will be returning to a lot.
