More than a title for the song, "Breaking Away" aptly describes Ava Lemert's new direction for her music making. In this song, she flexes her vocal, and production chops, "Breaking Away" from the misconception that she is simply a "jazz saxophonist." Ava also recorded, mixed, and mastered the song herself in her Citrus Heights studio, My Blue Heaven.
"Breaking Away" is a rather obscure song from 1981 by the band, Balance. Ava's version of the energetic, 80s rocker, has a bit faster tempo, great for exercising to, and six vocal harmonies, all sung by Ava herself! This is a new arrangement of a dusty gem from the days of leg warmers, and Miami Vice. It's both nostalgic, and refreshing with the "realness" of the soaring, powerful vocals by Ava Lemert

"Winter Song" at times sounds like an instrumental that might have been made by #BrianFerry or #RoxyMusic with it's swirling, sultry harmonizing saxophone lines that phase in, around, and above each other. It's as if they are lovers in a dance, very dream-like, with an intoxicating, driving tom-drum beat behind them. Chill, but also, intensely passionate.

LYRICS:

Ooh!

Are you ready?

Want some truth?
You gotta let me be free.

Got to make up my own mind
to live in Liberty.

Liars hide, and the news is fake.
Well, there's only so much deceiving
that I can take!

Well,
Better make it right before it's too late,
Is it too late?

Light the dark, clean the slate.
Well, you know we're running out of time,
Did we seal our fate?

You know, it's time that we take a stand, 
Before it's too late!
Oh no, tell me,
It's not too late!
Here we go!

(sax solo)

Oh!
I'm wide awake!
And it's plain to see,
Yeah,
All the spin and propaganda, yeah,
It's tyranny!

Do you hear me?
Stop sleepin'
Before it's too late!
Before it's too late (it's not too late)

You know it's time that we take a stand,
Before it's too late! (It's not too late)
Tell me, it's not too late

It's (Not) Too Late

A big, bold version of the blues classic, Ava takes the WHOLE stage here: with an aggressive power lead vocal, equally gritty, searing saxophone riff and solo, as well as three soulful backing vocals, give this both a bright sound, with a vintage soul roundness. Absolutely a stunner in the digital age, with NO auto-tune required nor used!

What is “Neo-Exotica?” A new, retro-inspired genre of music by Ava Lemert.
If you love the "Ultra Lounge" series by Rhino Records that features worldly googie music from the mid-century martini set you'll love Ava's "Neo-Exotica" 
How does it sound? Think of the romance of forbidden beaches, tiki,gods guarding sacred temples in misty jungles teeming with wild things. Hear the rhythm of drenching salty surf, warm tropical sun and you sipping a fancy cocktail with a little umbrella sticking out enjoying it all! It's lush —replete with field recordings of Kookaburra birds, lions and stirrings of the Yucatan rainforest. Ava uses sounds of instruments you may not know even exist, such as African traditional instruments like the urdu, ngoni, or the lute-like Aud from Armenia, there's the Chinese dizi flute and the other-worldly sounding Erhu, ringing sitar-like Jaipur and even drums made with Cling-Wrap! Blended in with the very exotic are more familiar rhythms such as funky dancehall and Reggae, Bossa Nova and a fiery Tango that features Ava's smoldering spicy saxophones in a dance of passion in "Gypsy Tango."
