Introducing Lisa DeVeaux & “Language Of Love” | Avail Now!

Introducing Lisa DeVeaux & “Language Of Love” | Avail Now!  



With the sincere vulnerability of a woman and the fearless expression of an artist,  Lisa dives heart first into the secrets that a woman often holds back for fear of revealing too much of her soul. Each song on Language of Love – seven co-penned by Lisa – speaks to a core emotion one feels within relationships.


“Language of Love is a look into my journal,” the lady shares. “It’s about being open, honest and willing to be hurt. Love is beautiful yet unpredictable – fragile and frustrating – and sometimes tragic. No matter how hard some of my experiences have been, I have always survived by maintaining an optimistic perspective.”

Key to Language of Love rockin’ you with a sound like no other was Lisa finding producer Tigran Saakian, a classically trained pianist, film composer and producer. He specializes in music for films yet has a unique and vibrant pop music pulse, as evidenced on his work with Israel’s international singing superstars,  Googoosh. “Tigran totally ‘got’ my musical vision of passion-filled melodies with rich production value,” she states.
