About the Album
The MonaLisa Twins’ much anticipated follow-up original record to their debut album “When We’re Together”. 5 years have passed since the release of original material while the Twins played countless shows all over Europe, moved their residence to England, and learned some important life lessons. In other words … they lived life.
In comparison to their first album, which was still written in their teens, ORANGE gives a more mature, sometimes satirical, yet overall still light-hearted approach to topics we all deal with. Love, community, doubt, the past and future and the generally unsettling direction society seems to be taking.
While staying true to their passion for melodic, quirky songwriting, plenty of harmonies, a very “60s” sound and twangy guitar licks, this album branches out into new territories and incorporates very psychedelic but also earthy, bluesy, sometimes even jazzy tones. Built upon everything you loved about their debut album, you can expect to hear a more experimental and very tongue-in-cheek side of the MonaLisa Twins.

I have already purchased this album, and love it very much !
This one I purchased for my daughter.
Really good album, these girls should really be better known than they are, come on promoters do your job.
Brilliant album with fantastic songs produced to perfection to give that fresh Electric/acoustic 60s sound, played and sang exquisitely.
I’m a Big Band swing singer, but love many genres of music and this album along with the ‘When we’re together’ album has given me the spark and inspiration to get my acoustic guitar out and strum along- Thank you girls and the band for the immense pleasure I get from your lovely music.
Ladies; I’ve been listening to your music for past 3-4 years it’s really great. I love the harmony, rhythm and occasional key change y’all do – great stuff. “Count one me” I’ve never heard this song for some reason? I can feel the vibes going through my body very peaceful / soothing. Thanks
I love the whole Family and as a Music Fan and Musician, born 1949, I find their original songs are so sound of the Sixties and Seventies. Bright, colourful and wonderful texts. Thank you ladies for making me feel young and loved again.
Sonho em ver um show dessas gêmeas fantásticas aqui no Brasil!
Todas as músicas desse CD são excelentes! Tudo delas é muito bom!
I dream with a show of these fantastic twins here in Brazil! All the songs on this CD are excellent! Everything they do is really good!
I love it. And you know that orange is the colour of the Netherlands?
This CD titled ORANGE…which just happens to be Lisa’s favorite color is a wonderful album of “strange” songs that are Futuristic and Funny but in a sense really probable…serious songs and even one about the dead…there are two songs with special guest John Sebastian of the Lovin Spoonful on the blues harp taking us back to “Once Upon a Time” and another “Waiting for the Waiter” a strange song with Lisa begging the waiter to give her the change for the meal she had paid for in this restaurant on a very rainy day and Mona on Slide guitar with Sebastian’s blues harp all giving you the listener an eerie feeling as you here rain pouring down…then there’s a song “Close To You” that seems to be really personal as if it could be about a true relationship by Lisa…Mona creates another type of relationship with “Sweet Lorraine”..a relationship that could be jealousy deathly….my favorite on this CD is about death..a song titled “Club 27” which refers to the musicians and singers that all died in real life at the age of 27…but the sound the beat of this song is really rocking to the point it could be approaching heavy metal..I mean it truly is different from any song these girls have ever written….oh yes this is an original song album…it swings from one mood to another and when it comes to the end where Lisa is “Still a Friend of Mine” the mood swings again with Papa Rudi in his dress whites playing the piano to this beautiful ballad with 3-string orchestra instruments providing a finish that leaves the listener begging for more.
This is a fantastic album, there’s not a mediocre song on it, every song is fantastic! The more I listen to it, the more nuances I discover. I get nothing but praise when I give MLT albums out as gifts, makes me look good!
You girls do it right, I love the music and of course your wit and candor. The album does grow on you and I don’t mind listening to it all day in my shop. That’s where the music room is.
