In addition to
showcasing a love for 1960s and 1970s soul, Shawn Lee also steers
his latest musical mystery tour into psychedelic and cinematic
territory over the course of 12 brand new cuts. Sing a Song
is like a breezy summertime mixtape, packed with catchy motor city
licks and space age songs that Lee built from scratch with each
collaborating vocalist in mind. Inviting vocalists from as far
afield as Kansas City, Los Angeles, London, Detroit and New York,
Lees’ latest album features Princess Superstar, artist Paul Fryer,
and blind street performer Robert Bradley. During recording Lee had
to be admitted to hospital for an emergency appendix operation, just
a few days after his wife gave birth to their second girl. But the
musical drive in Mr Lee is so strong there’s always time to Sing
a Song.
Shawn Lee and his Ping Pong Orchestra will be in the USA this Fall
to play their first ever gigs, including a stop at Bumbershoot in
Seattle…hold tight for more gigs.
