“Lillian Albazi has the qualities of a fine artist – a beautiful voice, excellent presence and commitment to her art.”

"Lillian’s take on standards is an insight into her gift as a composer, vocalist and consummate musician.”

"Albazi is a unique musician who has demonstrated flexibility as an artist. She is equally exceptional as a jazz vocalist, art/soundscape musician and alternative guitarist/vocalist/songwriter. Her ability to shift between these projects demonstrates her exceptional talent, courage and fearlessness as an artist."

“Together, James and Lillian formed the Sherlock Albazi Duo, delivering a performance that was both innovative and deeply moving. Their synergy on stage was palpable, weaving through an eclectic mix of jazz standards and original compositions that resonated with both aficionados and newcomers alike. The audience was treated to a night of musical excellence, marked by improvisational brilliance and heartfelt expression. Their combination was marked by a remarkable sense of intimacy and musical conversation. With each piece, James and Lillian demonstrated an intuitive understanding of one another’s phrasing and emotion—James’s guitar lines dancing gently around Lillian’s expressive vocals. Whether interpreting a jazz standard or delivering one of Lillian’s original compositions, their interplay felt effortless yet profound. The duo’s ability to balance technical brilliance with emotional nuance created an atmosphere that was both sophisticated and warmly inviting—holding the audience in quiet awe from the very first note to the final, lingering chord."

“#03 - Objects Without Pain is memorable because of the catharsis. Great Falls packs an emotional wallop. Whenever guest singer Lillian Albazi comes in during the rest-stop reveries between the roaring turmoil, it’s brutal in a way a lot of music can only dream of being. It’s the perfect aural analog to those quiet, unexpected moments when the life-changing epiphanies hit you."

“With Great Falls there is a real warmth and humanity to their performance. It is extraordinarily affecting and enticing and their unwavering and emotive performance draws in the rapidly filling room. Their performances is given further depth by the addition of Lillian Albazi, who has flown over to join the band for the final three shows of the tour. Her bewitching voice provides a real nascence to proceedings. A flash of light within the turgid darkness concocted up by the other musicians on stage. Distracting, thoughtful and thoroughly disarming, it provides a welcome antidote to the wallpaper music we get fed on a daily basis.”

“Melbourne's five-piece enigma, Great ~ Falls, have burst back onto the scene, shattering their two-year silence with the potent new single, ‘Radioinactive’. Far from simply returning to form, the band have dialled up the immediacy, delivering a track that is as magical as it is melancholic, seamlessly weaving their signature moody soundscape into a grittier, more urgent territory. This collaborative environment - mastered by the legendary Casey Rice (Dirty Three, Witch Hats) - allowed the five musicians to feed directly off one another's energy, resulting in a performance that captures a fresh, cohesive drive. ‘Radioinactive’ is more than just a welcome return; it’s a bold, unified step into a more immediate and punchy future for the Melbourne outfit.”

“Albazi’s voice is mature and sultry, gliding effortlessly. Like Chet (Baker), Albazi inhabits every inch of a song, her vocals are dreamy and fragile”.

"Tonight is also a great surprise as Australian singer and vocalist Lillian Albazi who contributed to the band’s newest album has joined the band for a few shows to add to the live shows, and boy does she. Lillian Albazi’s added opera-like tones and textural spoken elements bring the group’s sound together for tonight’s performance. This is a group that as soon as I left the show I had to listen to them for my journey home so I could soak up every element they have to offer. A great and breathtaking performance from these scene legends."

“April’s Child is a delicate tune with a classic indie Australian delivery; hi-pass guitars introduce the song with lead singer Lillian’s rich vocals following suit; it’s enchanting and uplifting."

“Great ~ Falls shake things up with ‘Radioinactive’, a gritty, unpredictable return that proves they’re one of Naarm’s most intriguing and dangerously unpredictable acts.”
