Blues at their most vintage, most dramatic, and most romantic, Mad Lee has just released his debut single, ‘Blind Lady Justice’. A track that perfectly traces the whimsical contours of blues. The vocal presence is driving and deep, grasping at the evasive piano lines and details. It is a throaty perfection, warmest baritone that contrasts the rest of the soundscape. And it has that archaic feel and quality when it comes to expression. Weighted and full of antique charisma, it makes the soundscape into a landscape of emotion.
The artist tells an elaborate story. Dressed up in frills of jazz, walking blues, rolling basslines, and coiling trumpets, the landscape is a layered scene set perfectly for Mad Lee’s vocals. There’s a cinematic flair to it all. Like dramatic build ups, fanfaring frames that transform the sentiment of the theme. The protagonist, a man under trial, doesn’t want to be locked away. He begs and aches for freedom, willing to be on the run for all his life if that’s what it takes. Beneath the primary layer of tale, you can allow your mind to delve into the social commentary and narratives that it naturally evokes. Precious and present, the track is great to put on in the background of a Sunday afternoon. Listen Now!
The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
