The singer and songwriter known as
Leona Lee has released her latest single, “Good Thing.” The
single has been published independent of aid from the corporate music
infrastructure. Sleek, elegant, gracefully sung and full of rhythm
and groove, “Good Thing” by Leona Lee is a much-needed return to
everything that is good about contemporary R 'n' B. An official video
has also been made available for viewing online.
Asked to name some of her most
important music influences, the multifaceted and multi-talented Leona
Lee doesn't hesitate to reply.
“Definitely Beyoncé!” she
exclaims, followed by a list of distinguished legends which includes
Jhené Aiko, Michael Jackson, Boyz 2 Men, Brian McKnight, JoJo, Chris
Brown, and Whitney Houston. True audiophiles will note that the
thread connecting all these music artists is one of immaculate taste.
This is a key quality to the sonic
experience of Leona Lee. Her musical accompaniment and danceable back
beats are spacious and unassuming, mellow and melodic, leaving her
enough space in which to let her naturally sonorous voice truly
shine. Her singing style is based on R 'n' B and pop motifs but also
bears certain undertones of cool jazz.
Speaking of her start in music, Lee
writes, “I first began singing when I was nine. A James Brown song
came on at my mom's wedding and I sung for the people who came. From
there, my mom started getting me into music.”
“Good Thing” is the first taste of
Lee's upcoming EP, due out in short order.
“My EP is made up of songs to get
listeners more familiar with me and the kind of person I am,” she
writes. “I speak through my music so my EP tells you about me.”
Leona Lee, who typically writes all her
own music (her EP features a track penned by her brother, Kris) is an
actress, dancer, and model in addition to her considerable talents in
music making. She is of Trinidadian and American heritage, and the
middle child of five. She has been singing since the age of three and
playing piano since she was five. She began her acting career the
same year on the popular children's television show, “Barney and
Friends.”
“I feel like my music tells true
stories about my outlook on life, and about other things that go on
in my head,” she writes.
Two official music videos have also
been released corresponding to her upcoming EP, one for “Good
Thing” and another for “Why Do I Love You” (links provided
below).
“Good Thing” by Leona Lee is
available online worldwide. Fans of pop and R 'n' B should get in
early.
