Fenne Lily’s “Big Picture“, a vivid exploration of her past two years, balances love, comfort, and claustrophobic feelings. Despite personal and global chaos, the album is her most cohesive, addressing fear, uncertainty, and liberation in an unexpectedly inspirational manner. Each song showcases her evolving understanding of love as a journey, not a discovery. “Big Picture’s” ten tracks, penned during a relationship, diverge from her past works centered on heartbreak, offering insights on love, self-reflection during closeness, and the obligations of being crucial in someone’s life.
UK-born but now New York-based artist Fenne Lily shared the tender and life-affirming lead ‘Lights Light Up’ from her album “Big Picture” this year. ‘Lights Light Up,’ a soothing, prophetic and insightful account of love at its temporary best. Invested with Lily’s delicate yet enveloping vocal that wraps around you like a big hug. It’s paired with simmering guitars, muted percussion, and gently burnished and forgiving production.
Written partially as a conversation, it vividly tracks the details of a burgeoning relationship and recognizes the transitory nature of any shared thing; the bittersweet truth that you can only walk hand in hand with someone as long as you’re going in the same direction.
Fenne later expands on these themes with the release of “Big Picture (Expanded Edition)” featuring five bonus tracks including the beautifully evocative “Hollywood and Fears”
