Lilly Wood and the Prick

Lilly Wood and The Prick, formed in Paris in 2006 by vocalist Nili Hadida and guitarist Benjamin Cotto, emerged from a casual collaboration that produced three songs within two days. Their early presence on Myspace, where they covered a Santigold track, attracted producer Pierre Guimard, who opened a studio for them and facilitated their signing with the independent label Cinq7. The duo released their debut EP Lilly Who and the Prick in 2009, followed by their first studio album Invincible Friends on 31 May 2010; the single "This Is a Love Song" gained commercial attention and led to a Guerlain advertising campaign in September 2010. In 2011, they received the Victoire de la Musique award for Revelation of the Public, and the next year they released The Fight, with the single "Middle of the Night" topping French radio playlists and featuring in a Canal+ program. Their third album, Shadows, arrived on 15 November 2015, and the group continued to release singles such as "Prayer in C" (2019) and "You Want My Money" (2021). In early 2026, they issued the album Christina, marking their latest studio effort. The band remains active, with ongoing tours and collaborations, and has maintained a presence in French pop‑folk, electro-pop and rock circles.
