No Proscenium Review: "Subject" With Score by Lia Menaker
There is much to applaud with Subject: the effective, minimalist set and costume design; the artful sound and audio compositions; the way I wanted so badly to be more when the piece was done. However, nothing so...

WXPN Philly Includes Lia in 2020 Best of Philly: Pandemic Edition
From the Philly class of 2020, I think singer-songwriter Lia Menaker is most deserving of the next available gig at Twin Peaks’ Bang Bang Bar. Gliding to pensive beats and onminous keyboard textures, this compelling vocalist...

Philadelphia Globe Review: "I Am Kyrøs" EP
When Lia Menaker first announced her new EP, she was performing under a different name: Kyrøs. The word has a couple different meanings; Greek for “time,” “lord,” or “the right moment.” The EP was originally titled Stranger, but...

"I Am Kyros" Mentioned on Philadelphia Weekly
Speaking of mod and moody, Philly area R&B, local songwriter, producer and vocalist Lia Menaker made June her own by releasing her debut five-song EP “I Am Kyrøs” as a self-described sort-of “self-exploration.” Think Yazoo meets Moses Sumney on the icy electro blues tip.

I Am Kyrøs EP Reviewed on Higher Plain Music
Not the R&B you were expecting
Sounds Like: Experimental soul goth
The Review: Lia Menaker’s voice is utterly spellbinding. Lia is able to power through her lower register with buckets of soul and feather a vibrato to give her a gothic operatic edge. It is key to why...

Album Review: Words from the unofficial Yoda
Lia is a magnificent singer, songwriter and producer from the land of Philadelphia where it is always sunny or so I have been told. Her live streams include a mix of originals and covers as well as brilliant loops and a masterful use of different effects. She has also been doing themed streams lately which have been most enjoyable to attend. She fosters a...

Long After Dark Interviews Lia
Kairos is an Ancient Greek word indicating that a moment is the right time for action. Philadelphia artist Lia Menaker could not have chosen a more appropriate time to release her debut under the name Kyrøs. Her EP I Am Kyrøs was written before many of the events that have called for change in 2020, but Menaker’s prescient music is very much in the here and now...
