"Lilith is NOT a live Greatest Hits album as the Amazon Editorial review states!!!
Lilith is the 2003 release by France's most creative singer-songwriter. With 23 songs this double CD has plenty of space to hit on many styles and feelings. Less "poppy" than his pre-Mustango albums. Lilith continues Murat's trend toward simpler arrangements that will remind English speaking audiences of the Velvet Underground(Emotion), Matthew Sweet(Le Cri du Papillon), and of course Neil Young and Leonard Cohen.
This album uses female harmonies behind Murat's warm, sensual voice to great effect. And the abstract, poetic lyrics are some of the best to date by Murat."
