[4] Lilac Everything was written by Emma Louise during a visit to Mexico and recorded at Bear Creek Studio in Seattle with Tobias Jesso Jr.

And immersed you will be, as the hypnotic Louise sings her poignant, universally-felt tales; making it a brave, gripping and influential release.

"[8] Shaad D'Souza from Vice Magazine said "Lilac Everything bears no resemblance to vs Head vs Heart or Supercry whatsoever; rather than looking to electronics or alt-pop, Lilac Everything trades in wide, earthy soul and spare, romantic folk music, not entirely dissimilar in colour to Feist's Let It Die...

The phrase 'radical departure' is overused and meaningless, so to put it plainly: Lilac Everything sounds nothing like Emma Louise.

"[6] Women in Pop said "The altered vocals bring previously unheard qualities and timbres to Emma Louise's voice, and are in many ways the perfect complement to the threads of melancholy that wind through the album."
