Lilygun's New Album Out Now!

It is with great pleasure, I announce, Lilygun's new album is out today! ♥

After the success of our debut album, we took our time to enjoy the whole process of creating our second album. 'Strength & Grace' is a collection of songs from twenty demo recordings I had made. Belle (my drummer) and I chose our favourite eight songs (eight being my magic number) and we began to record them with Aaron John, David Ryder Prangley (who both played on Lilygun's first album) and Adie Hardy.

Its been said of Lilygun in the past that we incorporate the three G's - Goth, Glam and Grunge! This has been a pretty good description of us in the past. But this new album seems to have taken on another aspect of sound that we have not had in the past. Although guitars are still a heavy feature in the new songs, we've branched out into a more experimental field in terms of our sound.

We released our first single 'Inside', from this album with a music video. We were overjoyed when fans paid up to £5 for the download! ♥ The Inside music video also proved to be popular and clocked up over a thousand views on Facebook in 24 hours on the day we released it! When I get described as "a Gothic Kate Bush", I know my career as a Rock artist has hit a peak! 💫

And so here it is...


Limited edition gatefold CD 
Available exclusively from 

Thank you everyone for your continued support over the many turbulent years I have had with Lilygun. It means a great deal to me. I'm so proud I stuck to my guns and didn't let anyone come along and ruin this band. In the end, I feel we earned the respect and street cred I wanted and that's because I absolutely refused to conform to other people's expectations.

I also really have to say a special thank you to the remarkable players on this album, Aaron John, Adie, DRP and Belle my Star for not only contributing their amazing talents to this album but for also being my dear friends, helping, supporting and constantly inspiring me. I'm a good songwriter but it's the players that bring a song to life. The creativity of these four incredibly talented musicians shines all over this album and it would not have been the same without them.

On 17/7/17 go to www.lilygun.com and there, you shall find, the wait is over!

"A great number with crossover appeal and a great chorus showcasing Anna-Christina's awesome pop/rock vocal style."

"What does a London-based rock bands first music video look like? It’s guaranteed, not many will look like Lilyguns! With the release of their first music video, Lilygun prove to not only be unique in sound but also in vision. ‘Inside’ is the Bass-tastic first single from their forthcoming second album Strength & Grace, due for release later this month. Judging by this song, it’s going to be an album well worth investigating. Lead singer/songwriter Anna-Christina’s raw and powerful performance is captured beautifully in the video, directed by David Ryder Prangley (of Rachel Stamp fame), revealing a dark stylised character reminiscent of a Gothic Kate Bush. The charismatic front-woman has dedicated this video to her brain surgeon Mr Kevin O’Neill, who saved her life. A pretty harrowing yet touching dedication."

Inside Out

When I get described as "a Gothic Kate Bush", I know my career as a Rock artist has hit a peak!

I can't even tell you how great it feels to see my band Lilygun back in the rock news again! Since I released Lilygun's debut album a few years ago, some of the reviewers who gave us such amazing reviews have left their companies which is a bit of a shame because I would have loved them to hear our new album! Neil Richardson was one of them but luckily he does still work at RoomThirteen.com and is continuing to support us even after all these years! This feels like a special time for Lilygun, the wait for the new release is almost over and our story will continue...

THE MAGIC BOX HAS ARRIVED!!!



Inside this box is Lilygun's second album... I can hardly believe it!!!

This week I received the most amazing phone call from my very first Ballet teacher 💖 She saw the new Lilygun music video and decided to call me! We haven't spoken in years but she said she never forgot about me and has thought of me often!

This is so heart warming to me. She spotted my talent before anyone else and I'm so lucky I had such an amazing teacher like her who believed in me and set me on my path as a performer and musician when I was 8 years old (even though at the time, 8 years old was very late to begin Ballet!).

She commented on how fierce I look in the video which made me laugh, but also how she could see my ballet training in my movements. Movements instilled in me by her, all those years ago! My body has its distinctive shape because of her!

Most of us have that one teacher who saw something special in us when we were little, who gave us the self-belief we needed at the time to pursue our dreams. Aren't we lucky! I hope that one day, I can inspire someone to follow their dreams the way she inspired me to follow mine.

Magical!
