Hello,
Just wanted to update everyone on a few things. We are mid flow at Abbey Road. I'm a bit shocked at how beautiful everything sounds. We have legendary people working on this album and it's really starting to show... all our hard work was extremely noted and we rattled off 19 songs in our first 4 days with the whole band... in our next batch (back in tomorrow) will be putting fairy dust on the tracks... grand piano's, harps, bv's. Everyone at Abbey Road says it is so unusual to get a band recording pretty much everything live in this day and age and it's really refreshing. But although it's hard to pull off it's so worth it and listening back you can feel the energy between the 7 of us and the tracks have so much life and are so fun and intense.
I think we're all gonna be really sad to leave it's been a great, great experience and a brilliant opportunity for a first album recording.
So the lovely James has written this about me and the band at our Rock Garden gig a few weeks back:
"Next up is Lyla Foy, a 21-year-old singer songwriter from central London. I'm sceptical of female singers at the moment, I call it 'NashLily' syndrome if you will but it seems that every single one in some way or another borrows an attribute from these two vixens of the note. Lyla sidesteps this bracket neatly and the only thing she has in common is the knack to pen a catchy tune. Lyla doesn't do this alone, she is backed up on a cramped stage by 6 other musicians who demonstrate they are more than able, with each song highlighting their talent. Fear not, for there are no cymbals on fire or lengthy guitar solos played with teeth, but musical vignettes with real quirk, 'Back and Forth' and pop charm, Fifteen Minutes of Fame'.
The band rattle through tracks 'Fly on The Wall', 'Unladylikely' and 'Wild One' which are due to form the backbone of Lyla's debut album. Where her counterparts have recorded in their bedrooms, garage or on a cheap four track, Lyla has her sights set much higher and is due to begin recording in the coming weeks at Abbey Road no less.
Speaking with her after the performance I ask about the prospect of working at such a musical Mecca and she isn't fazed in the slightest. I comment on the band's performance and she reveals that the current line-up has only been together a month, but that 14 hour day rehearsals have enabled them to steal a march on their more established rivals here tonight.
Lyla has a steely determination and her ambition is unquestionable. Five minutes in her company and you are left dizzy and enthused. A fan of Joanna Newsom, Wallis Bird, Imogen Heap and KT Tunstall, Lyla regularly uses the internet to find fellow up-and-coming artists and is a music fan as well as musician.
When asked if music has always been her love she shares with me the day her career as an ice-skater finished and the day her career as a musician started: "I was fourteen or fifteen and chubby, wearing Lycra outfits made me look like a hamster".
The ice-skating world's loss is our gain. This girl has talent and is an A&Rs dream: bags of talent, fresh ideas and breathlessly beautiful with a knowing innocence. With the right people to oversee her it won't be long before Lyla Foy blossoms into full bloom."
