Why I like it:
The reason I love the album Honeymoon is fairly simple, it makes me happy. You put on the first track, "Promises", and that catchy drum beat, followed by the breezy guitar picking transports you right into to Lili's world. You will be in her romantic comedy, where there's moments of love, heartache, and triumph.
Honeymoon has this dreamy pop style, that is coupled with fun and distinct guitar and drum parts that keeps the album's momentum going. I think the fact that someone like Jer (from Skatune Network) can rework the whole album into a ska album, speaks to the quality of music writing that went into Honeymoon. Seriously look up their version of the album, it is amazing as well!
When I was researching Beach Bunny I also discovered the song "Prom Queen", and then later "Cloud 9" blew up on TikTok and put Beach Bunny on the map. Turns out Lili didn't even know she was getting popular on TikTok and had to subscribe to it and see. Here is where I age myself and admit I'm in the same boat that Lili was. It is pretty neat that her music was able to grow this way though and that TikTok is another avenue that artists can get discovered.
So in conclusion, if you want to be a cool trendy person like those TikTokers (which I am not but can pretend like the best of them), check out Beach Bunny!
