Critical Reception
The New Yorker called Dimchev the most famous singer-songwriter of Bulgaria. He has been compared by fans to Annie Lennox, Kate Bush, and Freddie Mercury. Critics have suggested that his work bears the closest resemblance to that of Anohni, the British singer formerly known as the lead vocalist of Antony and the Johnsons.[2] A review in the San Francisco Chronicle characterized Dimchev as a multidisciplinary performer whose technically skilled and highly expressive voice complements his provocative and theatrical stage presence.[3]
Exeunt Magazine described Lili Handel as a performance whose apparent provocation is underpinned by unexpected subtlety and control.[4]
