Strutterzine review- LISA LIM ‘LISA LIM’ (SPIN DOG RECORDS/HEMIFRAN) Well well well! Now here we have a sensational female vocalist/guitarist called LISA LIM. This American musician has released a great self-titled album, which shows an enormous talent, both vocally and on the guitar. Not all of the songs will become a classic, but without any doubts, Lisa is an amazing guitarist, who can easily rip like JOE BONAMASSA, while her singing has a strong 80s Hair Metal vibrato, which fits somewhere between JOAN JETT and LITA FORD. The music is heavy bluesrock, with a huge Rock and Roll approach. In fact, sometimes it reminds me a bit of a bluesier version of the much praised DEAP VALLY. Highlights on the album are “Broken promise blues”, “Superstitious mind”, “Denial” and “Let go” (a cool catchy straightforward melodic rocker a la JOAN JETT!). Mindblowing guitar playing is the name of the game here and I am absolutely thrilled to ever see this girl live on stage, but so far she hasn’t performed outside of the USA. It’s time to get her perform in Europe, because she has the potential for sure. The only remark I would like to add is that her songwriting might need a boast on a future album, because here and there we can hear some simpler tunes (“My perfect world” and “Perfect fit”) that sadly invites one to push the skip button. Nevertheless, there’s huge potential here and with the right team and experience in the coming years, Lisa is definitely a musician to keep your eyes wide open for.
