The MonaLisa Twins’ second original album that provides listeners with a whole new experience. While staying true to their roots – The Sixties – this album branches out into new territories of musical styles. You can expect to hear a more experimental and very tongue-in-cheek side of the MonaLisa Twins. Check the tabs below for more info.

No question these two can sing, and their harmonies are masterful, dare I say, angelic. It pleases me how their voices have matured as they have aged. What really impresses me, though, is the strength and variety of their lyrics. Come for the great music and fabulous vocals, stay for the poetry. Orange is interesting, start to finish, but especially In It for Love, Still a Friend of Mine, That’s Life, and It’s Alright.
The album is a mix of quirky, delightful songs with tight harmonies and wonderful lyrics. So glad I clicked the link to buy them. When is your next album of originals coming out?
I just love your music, great guitar playing and superb Harmonies. it takes me back in those times when music was real. a great breath offers air.Thank you!
I love the vocal harmonies on your recordings. The guitar-playing, both on Strat and lap steel, is true to the traditions established back in the 1960s. I do have one suggestion. Include the videos with the album downloads!
It’s always fun to find a song or two that you like right off the bat, so you end up buying the album. Orange for me was that album, and I couldn’t be happier, the more I listen to all the songs the more a like them all. The songwriting is superb and the both Mona & Lisa have great voices to carry them through. So I’m looking forward to their next album & see what new things these very talented young musicians come up with. With that I’ll quote something George Harrison once said, “Well Done”.
I recall when this album came out on Sept 29 2017 after much anticipation all summer leading up to it’s release. MonaLisa Twins finally released the album, and all their fans who placed early orders weeks in advance, received the Orange album download link via email, while our CDs and Vinyls were sent in the mail weeks earlier to arrive on our door steps for the Sept 29th release date. What incredible coordination and planning as many received them just in time! At 23 minutes past the stroke of midnight UK time Sept 29th 2017 the download links were sent out via email to all their fans. That’s when my email arrived (4:23PM Sept 28th Pacific Standard Time in Canada). They were exciting times indeed!
After listening to the album all day, I wrote the following first impressions the very next day on Facebook:
“Mona and Lisa’s singing on their “The Best Years of our Lives” video(Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel cover) just blew me away when I first heard it. So much depth and feeling in their singing that just touches your soul. The singing in Orange has that magic in abundance, that is another reason I love this album.”
“Count on Me”, and “Still a Friend of Mine” were the two tracks that immediately grabbed and shook me the most the first time around when I heard the album. The beautiful singing, lyrics and especially the melody of these two beautiful ballads just touches and soothes the soul!
Then there is “Sweet Lorraine”, such a wonderful tune, that every time you hear it, you can’t help but tap your feet and sway your head a little. If they told me it was a lost track that Paul McCartney and John Lennon wrote, I would believe them without a doubt, but no, it is a MonaLisa Twins original as all the tracks on Orange are. MonaLisa Twins brilliant song writing talent just shine here.
“Close to You”, is the love song of the album that is hard not to love with it’s delightful guitar lead in, catchy tune, and touching lyrics. “Club 27” is the hard rock and roll song of the album which is one of the best hard rock tunes I’ve heard in a long time. Just love the Hendricks/Santana kind of guitar riffs throughout, and the singing is spectacular.
“Once Upon a Time”, and “Waiting for the Waiter” are two delightful blues songs, with legendary songwriter and singer “John Sebastian” from the Loving Spoonfuls, doing the honors on the blues harp. MonaLisa Twins are admired by great musical talents like John Sebastian and Steve Harley and many others.
Orange has a positive outlook on the future that is echoed throughout the album with 11 remarkable songs that capture the spirit of the finest pop/rock songs of the 60’s in a modern refreshing and unique style and sound of the MonaLisa Twins. It brings to light some of the issues facing the world and mysteries of life in such tracks as “It’s Alright”, “Waiting for the Waiter”, “In it for Love”, and “That’s Life”. I just can’t help but feel better when I listen to “No More Worries Company”. Sometimes just listening to this album does what that song says. Melts your worries away and brightens your day.
Orange is one of the best album’s I own in the company of albums from bands like the Beatles, Beach Boys, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Supertramp etc.. After immersing themselves in the great legendary songs of the 60’s by bands like the Beatles, since they were like 13 years old , and doing covers of these great classic songs, I think a lot of that genius rubbed off on the MonaLisa Twins as evidenced by their own remarkable song writing and production in Orange. Orange is one of the finest albums I’ve come across in a long time and is one I will treasure for many years to come.
Orange works for me on every level. The musical growth of MLT in the last 3-4 years is just so obvious with this album. The singing and playing is great as always. And now some very strong songwriting and production. Yes everyone loves the covers, as do I. You can’t argue with the millions of You Tube views. But I hope the new songs keep coming. The bar is set high with Orange. I’m looking forward to the next one.
Mona and Lisa are exceptionally talented singer/songwriters who have great energy between them. I’m happy to add this album to my collection. There is room for acts like the MonaLisa Twins who value strong lyrics, and melody. May I add that I am over the moon for their vocal performance? I’m in love with their music and with them!
I won´t forget the first Ýoutube video of MonaLisa Twins that i watched. It was the cover of Beatles Drive my car. Besides being a Beatles song, i could feel the energy in less than a nano second, i mean they definitely rock. Then i watched through all the videos and see how good they are so i realized the Orange album wouldn´t dissapoint me. It is like a miracle of pop rock. This album plays in my head all the time with their great songs: “It´s alright” my favourite one. I like how they can play from beat and the psychedelic of Revolver to Paul´s vodevil and music hall. I also can feel the echoes of the rock n roll side of Simon and Garfunkel and the Everly Brothers. Nobody can bring back the 60´s better than MonaLisa Twins. You won´t regret buying it. 10/10 Giordano from Nola (Italy).
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.
