Lady Lamb The Beekeeper is the recording project of Maine-based singer-songwriter Aly Spaltro. She’s gearing up to release her sophomore album After next year, and has given us a tantalizing taste of what's to come in the form of the uplifting lead single “Billions Of Eyes". The soaring melody, euphoric production and Spaltro's excellent vocal deliever make this a a jangly folk-pop delight. The lyrics find a perfect balance between idiosyncratic and poignant: “And I could tell the story of how/ My great grandmothers sister was deemed a saint/ How they exhumed her body after years of being buried, and they found she hadn’t even begun to sully/ So they moved her again, straight into the Vatican.”
The juxtaposition between the prettiness of the music and the dark undertones in the lyrics transcend into the imagery around this campaign; bats and sinister looking jars alongside pastel coloured mountains are just a few examples. If one thing's for sure, this new album will launch Lady Lamb onto another level of singer/songwriter excellence.
