Shawn Lee conjures up some important musical forms. His new album 'Soul Visa'
bears all the hallmarks of Lee's auteur approach to his music. He has produced,
mixed, sung and played every instrument on the album. Both rich in harmony and
dynamic in scope, Lee commits himself to the classic three minute pop song.
Inspired by the song-writing geniuses of Bacharach & David, Brian Wilson and
Jimmy Webb, Shawn mixes it up musically but always keeps things soulful and
melodic. 'Soul Visa' features a wealth of contemporary production techniques,
inventive instrumentation and lush vocal harmonies. It's a place where the
sounds of yesterday meet the sounds of today, skilfully constructing a
conceptual bridge between the old school and the new. The album has grabbed the
attention of the Japanese and the French particularly, where Shawn is a highly
regarded cult artist whose records are considered to be musical masterpieces.
Shawn's music has found fans and supporters in such fellow artists as Badly
Drawn Boy, Zero 7, Coldcut and Vikter Duplaix. Originally from Wichita, Kansas
and Los Angeles, Lee has been based in London for the last ten years. He has
toured extensively across Europe and Japan spreading his gospel to the
impassioned. As well as releasing a handful of solo albums on as many labels,
Shawn is also an in-demand singer, session musician, songwriter and producer. He
has worked with a diverse range of artists from the most respected talents of
the leftfield to some of the biggest names in pop.
