Not Like You – Costa, Lily – LP – Brand New Vinyl (Arrives in 20days)

NOT LIKE YOU by Lily Costa stands out as a genuine statement in modern pop—a record that doesn’t chase trends but crafts its own emotional universe. Costa’s songwriting is unflinching, carrying an honesty that cuts through studio polish and lands with real-world resonance. Each track unfolds like a diary entry set to shimmering arrangements, where lush synths and acoustic touches sit side by side. There’s a tactile quality to the production that feels tailor-made for vinyl: the warmth of the grooves brings out the subtle harmonies and the crackle of Costa’s voice at its most vulnerable moments.

What elevates NOT LIKE YOU is its refusal to hide behind pretense. Costa explores the complexities of identity and connection, sidestepping pop’s glossy clichés in favor of music that invites repeated, thoughtful listens. It’s an album for those who appreciate the art of the album—sequenced with care, every side tells a story. If you collect records for their ability to capture a moment in time and offer something new with each spin, NOT LIKE YOU deserves a spot on your shelf. This is contemporary pop with an old soul, destined to become a quiet favorite.
