After making a splash with her video debut early last month Chicago based singer-songwriter Lili K and producer Peter Cottontale have released their collaborative Metal Petals EP. As a follow-up to the collaborative duo's 2011 four song EP, A Prelude To Hello, Metal Petals finds the young chanteuse demonstrating the duel strength of her vocals and her pen.
With the aide of Cottontale's warm hip hop-influenced electro-soul production, Lili's apt narrative storytelling alongside her polished soulful vocals takes center stage on such tracks like the EP opener "Curtain Call" and "Highlight The Moon".
