l Lily & Madeleine,
Bush Hall W12
When the duo come
together in ecstatic and
seamless ‘blood harmony’
it’s a sound that continues
to haunt long after the
songs are sung, leaving an
electrical charge behind. Lily
& Madeleine, however, are
equally distinctive as soloists
as they are as harmony
singers. When they step out
individually as vocalists,
Lily’s warm, smoky alto is the
counterpoint to Madeleine’s
crystalline, bell-like soprano.
