Lisa Germano: In the Maybe World

With all of Lisa Germano's work comes the feeling that she's addressing only herself, with that conversational approach and those near whispered vocals.

Hard Luck, Red Wine, and Loneliness

It's not surprising to learn that as a child, Lisa Germano delighted in self-inflicted pain. In some ways, she's never stopped picking her open wounds.

Lisa Germano or Catwoman

Lisa Germano's new album will reassure those who found the otherwise remarkable Geek the Girl too harrowing. The American singer of Sicilian descent returns to more pop-oriented songs, without abandoning her improbable tales of twisted love.

Mellencamp Has to Die!

Germano can't shake the connection to former boss John Mellencamp, even though her ambient pop has more in common with Public Enemy than Mellencamp's backwards roots-rock.
