UK Artist of the Week: Lillian Blue Makin

Toronto-born artist Lillian Blue Makin is redefining genre boundaries and shows no signs of slowing down with new single “DAISY,” out now.

At just 23, this queer artist has crafted a sound that effortlessly weaves rap, jazz, folk, and soul, creating music that feels both intimate and expansive. Lillian’s songs dive deep into themes of young queer love, personal evolution, and identity, told through vivid storytelling and poetic lyricism. She cites Dolly Parton, Andy Shauf, and Erykah Badu as inspirations, helping to shape the textured and emotional landscape of her work.

Since releasing her first single in 2020, Lillian has built an impressive catalog that includes five singles and a full-length LP, Primary Language (2022). The album has resonated with listeners worldwide, earning over 2 million streams on Spotify and spots on multiple editorial playlists. Now, Lillian returns with her latest single “DAISY,” a long-awaited release following a year-long hiatus. Lillian elaborates, “It’s been over a year since I released anything. When we recorded ‘THE SUMMER’ we also recorded this tune called ‘DAISY’.”

“DAISY” captures the heartfelt honesty and sonic fluidity that make Lillian Blue Makin one of the most exciting emerging voices in Canada’s indie scene.

“DAISY” is in stores now.
