“Rock!” was Lyia Meta's succinct and unequivocal response when quizzed on which genre of music influenced her most while growing up. With a dad living off a diet of Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones, it’s not surprising that she cut her teeth on the more aggressive sounds of the 1970s.
Judging from what’s on the singer/songwriter’s debut album This Is Lyia, there can be little argument. The self-produced effort, a five-song outing, captures the seasoned live circuit performer in fine fettle, her big voice an obvious highlight between cleverly-crafted songs generated from true-to-life experiences.
