From the first time hearing this CD, the songs resonated in my head, like songs I\'d heard before, didn\'t quite remember but was thrilled to be hearing again.  I really liked the variety of music too, some songs slow and haunting, some lithe and soaring - others with driving, guttural beats that made me grit.

Lyrically there is a broad spectrum of prose ranging from transparent and bleeding, some sarcastically naive or bitter and emotionally charged.

If you don\'t like songs that get stuck in your head, you won\'t like this album, I find myself humming and replaying the songs in my head after listening to them - this one is definitely staying in my ipod.

It\'s always a good sign when you can\'t sum up a group in a few words, or even a few sentences. Little Lemon is two people, a man and woman, from Los Angeles. So, there\'s your broad summation. Pinning down the music is tougher. The first two tracks on this long EP/short full-length use acoustic guitar as the base, adding rich melodies, appropriately sparse piano, and lyrics that are both heartbreaking and self-affirming. The third track is harmony-heavy a cappella, a quick jaunt accented with snaps and hand claps. \"Feel U\" is the fourth cut, a song that brings in some synths and makes for infectious dance music. \"U Walked Away\" starts with piano, adds some strings, and features initially timid vocals that open up perfectly. \"Follow U\" gives a nod to Liz Phair-style 90\'s rock, while \"Sick\" goes back to the acoustic, but layers thick keys on top, steering it all towards an effectively big ending. \"Wanna Be With U\" (is the title making sense, yet?) is a great one to end on, an emotionally honest and soul-baring track that assures things go out on a high note. There\'s a lot of diversity here, but the common thread is clear: great production, great musicians, and songs that you\'re sure to carry with you.
