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.

Not sure where I came across the Twins. Glad I did, very talented. Looking out for more new music, not to be missed.
Well this was a surprise, and a bonus to the Christmas Album.
Very good !
Can’t remember how I first came across MonaLisa Twins , but firm fan now, and looking out for live dates !
I am 68, Learning to play the guitar since the beginning of the pandemic with a 100$ fender. I love the album, and can appreciate it that much more since I understand how hard it can be to play the guitar well. You are so good and you are superb. By the way, I listen to this album every time I drive in my car.
Orange really shows talent in developing and performing your own original music. Wonderful songs. Glad we discovered Mona and Lisa.
With Liverpool now in lockdown, please stay safe & carry on working on the new album, we are all looking forward to it. What can I say about the existing body of work that hasn’t already been said. Love the music, love the videos. Keep up the good work, and thank you.

My wife and I love your music and videos. We like the way you present yourselves…”They’re cute and adorable”, I agree with my wife. Your music is bright and very enjoyable. We especially enjoy your original works. You are a breath of fresh air in an ever increasing world of crappy music.
Keep up the great music…and stay groovy.

Dear Mona and Lisa, thanks for a light and positive atmosphere that you create with your music, for your loving and cheerful presence. Hope you carry your talent and productivity for many years to come.
Soft and calming music. It is good to know that the MLT can both put up a big Rocknroll show and also create a relaxing atmosphere with their beautiful vocals.
The “Orange” album was a breath of fresh air for me given what most current bands issue as new music. The current trends are similar and seem almost cookie cutter and over processed.
In contrast, the music on this album is clean with the music and voices standing on their own without auto-tune or many of the current processes that recording artists use today.
That gives this music an almost retro sound that made music of the 1960s, and to some extent, the 1970s some of the best ever recorded.
The songs on the album range from sentimental, like Still A Friend Of Mine, to fun and playful. Although the sentimental songs are good, I prefer the fun ones like Club 27 and the No More Worries Company, and the snarky Waiting for the Waiter, which I have done plenty of times.
There was some experimentation with The Future using broadcast clips. I didn’t really get it, but that could my own denseness.
Once Upon A Time was very ’60s reminiscent of Time of the Season and Across the Universe. It was kind of a look back at the way it was.
There were also some “girl group” sounds like Close To You and That’s Life. Sweet Lorraine seemed to me to be a hybrid of a “girl group” song and a ’60s ballad.
All in all, I enjoyed the album and have included it in my playlist to listen to on a regular basis. Keep up the good work!
The MonaLisa Twins are wonderfully sassy and fun. I play their music over and over and never tire of it! I was born in 1947 and spent my adolescence basking in the music of the Beatles, the Beachboys (I grew up in Los Angeles) and all the Greats of those years. What a gift the ML Twins are giving everyone: a thorough musical drenching of sheer joy! Thank you, Mona; thank you, Lisa!
