Lyonn EP Knivsta is filled with lyrics of love, soft as a warm embrace

March 12, 2014

Allow the music of Lyonn to wrap around you as you dance with the melodies.  Lyonn is the musical project by Tyler Gelrud and from first listen, you will instantly be charmed by his voice.  Lyonn‘s current EP KNIVSTA is filled with honest and raw songs that beautifully tell the tales from Tyler’s life.          The first song Silver Screen Love is a romantic tale that will have you reminiscing of the first time you were deeply in love, even feeling the fluttering of those butterflies as you remember their name and those special moments. The vocals dance in your head as it paints the picture of romance. On Bastille Day, once again you are drawn into the story of the song and the vocals are powerful and emotionally driven. Another song,  Dancing Machine is another acoustic delight that will have you swaying in the moonlight and is set to be on the soon to be released EP, Promenade.  You are really going to love it and I am excited that Lyonn is [Read More]
