From Paris, or rather she now lives in Brussels, comes a lot of good music, and Lucille Alison’s pop/soul/jazz fusion is definitely one of them. At home in timeless modernity, she is always reminiscent of past greats. Her charisma is emotional, jazzy, and unadulterated, straight from and to the soul, so to speak. 

‘Colorful Mind’ is the lead track of her EP and highlights the transformative power of art as a means of overcoming inner struggles. The song begins with a reflection on the unpredictability of life, symbolized by the wind and dancing leaves, and suggests a sense of being lost in a crazy world. Nevertheless, it invites the listener to give the universe a smile. A powerful mantra in the chorus emphasizes the importance of self-confidence and inner strength. The phrase ‘F*ck the world with your Colourful mind’ is a bold declaration of individuality and resistance to societal pressures, advocating embracing one’s own unique perspective and creativity. The song also emphasizes the contrast between passivity and proactive living. 

Musically, as already mentioned, you find yourself in a jazzy pop meets soul world that reminds me a little of an informal jam session between The Style Council and Matt Bianco. Be sure to listen to the EP, you won’t be disappointed.
