Born to Sri Lankan parents, in Germany, with a slight American twang to her accent, Dilshini Mendis is a new songwriter with great attitude and a cool name, a sensation for the United Kingdom.
“The songs on her new album include several moving pieces that recall ways of life lost to love and mistakes and the passage of time (Thoughts on a platform); bittersweet reminiscences of love (Letter 51); and insightful observations of people living at the fringes of culture (Paint the Picture & More).”
