Lisa Germano: In the Maybe World

Now signed to a new label, this newest release sees Germano sounding a little perkier, while also keeping her low-key approach and somewhat twisted world-view.

Only Angels Have Wings Interview: Lisa Germano

Lisa Germano is one of these persons who like to talk about their music, about their life, she never fails to be self-critical and self-mocking (see her autobiography in which she says she was kicked out of the cheerleaders because she did not smile enough, so the interview actually lasted about ten minutes more than what I expected.

Alcohol, Loneliness, Depression, and Isolation

Much has been said about Germano's drinking over the past few years. Rumors abound; many have said Lullaby reflects the alcohol problems Germano experienced during the making of the record. And while Germano would once agree with people, she now sees her own material more clearly and quickly disputes any claims to Lullaby being merely about alcohol.

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.

What is Victoria’s Secret?

Lisa Germano writes the kind of songs you can pull under the covers with you on days when you can't even pull yourself out bed to answer the phone.
