LESLIE KILLE: STORM (1991)
Pop. "Driven By Madness," "The Other Side," and "I Miss You" are highlights on this keyboard-driven album completely arranged, produced and performed by Leslie Kille. There is a wonderful intimacy and purity about self-contained artists. (Stevie Wonder, Prince and Paul McCartney are artists who have put out hit albums written, produced and performed as solo outings). Kille's release is full of pretty, lush melodies to sway to. You can smell the sea salt air and hear the swoosh of the Florida surf that inspired many of these tracks. Kille has a full-time career as a psychologist, but somehow finds the time to write and produce marvelous music. Her voice sounds remarkably like Emily Saliers of Indigo Girls, and she uses it to sing sophisticated melodies and introspective, lesbian positive lyrics that make for an impressive first outing.

LESLIE KILLE: MOVING CLOSER (1992)
Pop/rock.  A more sultry, rocking album than her debut puts Leslie Kille out front of a real live band, adding the mean, bluesy guitar work of George Harris and a tight rhythm section. The musical variety creates a listening experience that never lags. Kille fits somewhere between the melodic introspection of Carole King and the rock beat confidence of Joan Armatrading. She updates and  brings new life to three of the best songs from her first album ("Hear Me Now," "Storm," and "Driven By Madness"). This disc showcases the evolution of an artist from self-contained one-woman band to full production ensemble of musicians.
