Her early songs and live shows saw critical nods from outlets like DIY Magazine, who note Lilac’s “knack for an emotional gut-punch.” Lilac has toured extensively with mxmtoon and Tessa Violet and headline dates in NYC and L.A. for Neon Gold Records’ ‘Popshop’ showcases. Lilac’s music has been enjoyed by listeners racking up 20 million+ Spotify streams. Her single “Summer” has attained 14 million+ Spotify streams alone and saw critical support from Ladygunn.

Review of the Single
The Brooklyn-based artist is now releasing her single and her first new music of 2021, “10 Things.” The single is from the upcoming release from Chloe’s mixtape, due out fall 2021. “10 Things” brings a story of tough fringes of a close friendship’s fallout through Lilac’s crafty lyrics. She explains, “I wrote 10 things about a bad friend I had throughout my life, and finally realizing it wasn’t healthy for me to keep them around anymore. It can be so frustrating when a close friend prioritizes a relationship above your friendship. best friend breakups are one of the most painful things you can go through, especially when you feel let down by someone you trust so much.” With a chunky guitar and lo-fi drum sound, Lilac’s mix of pop and alt-rock is spot-on. In addition, her singing is playful and filled with clear enunciation and vocal charisma.
