Lail Arad is a London-born singer and writer, best known for her sharp lyrics, arresting voice and singular live shows. She has released two acclaimed solo albums, published a book of lyrics, toured extensively, opened for the likes of Television and Ezra Furman, had a baby, written a novel, not in that order.
