I still have the EP I bought from you during a holiday in Vancouver nearly 20 years ago. Sounds like your talent has just kept growing.

Breakdown Breakthrough

I started this piece on the island of Mallorca and finished it on Vancouver Island, traversing time and space, people and frontiers.

Traversing

I wrote this song for a cabaret style show called 'Home Sweet Home'.  The theme was what home meant to us. I performed for it at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts last June. It was a three night performance and I was accompanied by Jesse Waldman and Meghan Engel. 
I decided towards the end of the recording project to do a recording of this one, and add it to the CD. Its all about moving, and transition and coming home.

The Juice

The Juice feat Marcus King

Monica Lee's first full studio record co-produced by Jesse Waldman and Lee, it is the culmination of years of songwriting and live performances for the band.  These songs are a journey of letting go.  

Steven Drake of The Odds says, “Monica Lee is a fine musician and an excellent vocalist. Catchy melodies are everywhere in her music. But where she truly shines is in her lyrics. I’ve heard a lot of songs over the years (as have all of you), and I find words worth hearing to be quite rare.”

Farewell

Psycotrance

Vancouver-based singer-songwriter Monica Lee uses her powerful voice, sense of humour and poetic chops to warm our hearts as well as to share her pain. That’s never been more evident than on her latest album, Farewell (Release date July 24, 2020), containing 10 tracks that chronicle a tumultuous past decade in her life.

From bad break-ups to finding a soul mate, starting a family while at the same time losing loved ones, the songs on Farewell span the breadth of human experience but ultimately celebrate our ability to survive. All of that is reflected in Farewell’s seamless blend of country, blues and jazz, co-produced by Jesse Waldman at Vancouver’s Redlight Sound.

The late John Mann of Spirit of the West once compared Monica Lee to Joni Mitchell and it’s easy to agree after hearing her ability to balance confessional subject matter with vivid observations of everyday life. Farewell is a statement both beautiful and soul stirring, a testament to following one’s muse, as well as Lee’s undeniable, natural talent.
