ONLINE ARTICLES Series Two PRESS QUOTES "One of the most distinctive voices in indie-rock, a delicate, soulful croon...this up-and-comer
has plenty of chops." "The city's best (and most honest and brutal) soulful singer songwriter...The
kind of songwriter most guys wish they could be; few have the nerve to
sing so frankly about falling out of love, and fewer still can match his
soulful pipes...Chris Lee is a star already; it's up to us to catch up." "When Lee reaches for his falsetto...he propels his analysis of love out of
the seminar room and into a place that is both rapturous and real." "Soaring, emotional rock." "One of the best rock gigs I've ever witnessed...it had everything to do with
hearing - and getting lost in - Lee's pristine tenor. In addition to his
heavenly voice and his harmonically shifting tunes, what raises Lee out
of the indie-rock minor leagues and into the major-league songwriters'
ballpark are his lyrics, which are sexually charged and literate." "His warm, soulful croon could lift lesser songwriting into the clouds, but
his near-classic-sounding soul-pop ditties never fail to honor his sophisticated
coo. Talent this effortless is a rarity." "This self-effacing, unassuming Brooklynite bowled me over...his scrappy soul-pop
originals share with Jeff Buckley's songs an effortless grace and deep-seated
power but never devolve into the late singer's annoying histrionics. When
he lifts into that liquid falsetto, he's the most beautiful human in the
room." "Chris Lee knows his old soul and croons disarmingly convincing songs." "Achingly beautiful...a singular voice that grows more commanding by the month...his
melismatic croon can suck the air straight from the lungs." "An artist to watch." "Melts Southern soul into indie-rock gold...we're not talking some Beck-like
bell-bottomed fantasy - just pure, honest music from a Southern boy who
knows his limitations (no forced falsettos) while boasting a singular
voice that transcends them." "Sweet, soulful, and downright impressive." "Airy, urbane melanges of jazz, soul, and old-school pop...he plays superbly." "The most astounding slab of pop perfection...halfway through the album and
my jaw's bouncing off my keyboard, hair standing straight on the back
of my neck, pulse racing. All those tell-tale signs that you're listening
for the first time to something that you'll probably listen to forever." |
