Alexis Antes
STRONGER
Add acoustic guitar with female vocals and you get a familiar recipe appealing to most Lilith-goers. Alexis Antes' solo debut has these ingredients, but with a refreshing twist - solid, honest lyrics, catchy rhythms and a balance of upbeat and mellow tracks that give the CD an undying momentum.
STRONGER is a first stop for Antes, but a firm one. Finally going solo several years after the break-up of local folk band Odd Girl Out, she picked up the pen and did a little writing of her own. And apparently a lot of soul-searching, too. You won't find any "Spice"-y pop ditties. You will find the voice of a heart broken and healing. Not to be confused with a standard "love sucks" album or "rage against the ex," Antes' sound is not one of vengeance. Her voice is sincere and intriguing and her painfully realistic lyrics are coated in instrumentation with a folksy feel.
Beginning with "Stronger," quick, strumming guitars keep a light tone that continues into the second track, "Out There." The mood shifts with "Where Do We Go" - one of the stronger cuts on the CD. Here, Antes' voice is more distinguished than other more soft-spoken songs where the vocals tend to slightly compete with guitar. She glides over lyrics like, Is this just comfort in each other/Or friends turned into lovers/No label to define just what we are.
"Lifetime of Me and You" is almost lullaby-like, with its instrumentation textured by piano. "Hold On" and "Something More Than This" bring the pace back up to a foot-tapping speed - almost a moodswing with the combination of tempos on the disc. A stronger bass line is revealed in "Shadow the Truth," where Antes croons, If you think that I can't see what's going on/Well I've been around. Wrapping up with "My Light," a tribute to Antes' mother, Bobbie, also a musician who plays piano in several tracks, Antes' delicate, serene voice sends a thank-you to her inspiration. While the instrumentation and subject of the CD is not unique, Antes keeps interest and carves her own niche.

"Based on the work put into her career, Alexis Antes may never be the odd girl out again." ~ Peanuts
Lakewood Sun Post
October 14, 1999
"Since Antes released her debut CD Stronger in July, a collection of the first songs she has ever written, she keeps slipping closer and closer to the spotlight". It is the personal nature of her songs that seems to strike a chord with fans... But it is Antes' ability to expose her experiences that allows her to succeed where other acts may fail, especially when it's just her standing alone in front of the crowd." ~ Glenn Gamboa
The Beacon Journal

"Local singer-songwriter Alexis Antes, formerly of Odd Girl Out, turned in an opening set of well-crafted folk rock" ~ John Soeder
