Considering the long tradition of American mythos and storytelling, they sought to create a story that was based upon a single lie, a single image: A man is swallowed up whole by a tiger and soon thereafter a new, insular, and fragmented world begins to flower. And that lie led to another lie, which leads to other lies, and those lies just crumble into even bigger lies…and now we’re all lost.
There’s some snow and bees, a tiger, a cop, some screaming, children, cigarettes and breakfast, traffic, a nice-looking birthday cake, a spider, some biting, a few conversations, lots of birds, people eating flowers, people jumping up and down, a handful of clapping, a real bad car accident, dogs talking, a little panic, and most importantly a willingness to connect.

On her debut solo album, A Million Hearts, "Reju waxes in a new style, burnishing her timeless sensibility into laid-back sparkly pop that registers on the familiarity meter somewhere between Feist and Petula Clark." (Tara Murtha, Philadelphia Weekly). The album features Reju's songwriting as well as writing collaborations with the album's producer Pete Donnelly (Mike Viola, Jim Boggia), and Philadelphia-music-scene luminaries Chris Kasper and Andrew Chalfen (The Trolleyvox). The album's highlights include, a fun cover of Melanie's classic "Brand New Key", a vocal duet with pop prodigy Jim Boggia, full vocal harmonies, handclaps, snaps and a variety of whimsical instruments. Murtha depicts the songs as holding "a jaunty walk-along vibe where the living is breezy and hearts rise like little hot air balloons on the first day of spring."

The mystical elements of songwriting intoxicated LiliAna when she first discovered Bob Dylan’s “Blonde on Blonde” in her father’s record collection at age 8. Suddenly she was fascinated with words and she went looking for them in Joni Mitchell’s “Blue,” Neil Young’s “Harvest,” and beyond. Having studied literature and politics at university, her own brand of neo-folk is informed by the writing of Edith Wharton and other early American novels of Old New York. It is no accident that her large fan base listens with rapture not only to the lilting melody of LiliAna’s voice but also to the words which she sings—she means business and it’s been a while since radio-ready music has meant the same kind.
