imaginary trip sounds

Zee Avi é uma Jovem de 24 anos, que chega da Malásia. Lançou este ano o álbum homónimo e também o primeiro da sua carreira. Traz uma sonoridade simples e tranquila, construida com a sua voz frágil, uma guitarra acústica, umas teclas, mas poucas e percursão suave. Entre a música indie e os traços jazz, entre a pop mais discreta e a acústica eficaz, os suas canções trazem referências de gente como Beatles, Bob Marley, Janis Joplin e Simon and Garfunkel. Um álbum muito muito relaxante, feito com amor e romantismo. Recomendadíssimo para acalmar os espírito e perfeito para se dormir tranquilo ou acordar-se bem disposto.

"The songs on Zee Avi’s debut are about an outsider’s desire to belong and the tentative hope of moving on, filled with regret and loss, but boasting an impish, worldly wise sensibility. “I tend to be a loner,” she nods. ” ‘Honey Bee’ is about a romance between two nonconformists who are different from the rest of the hive, and are trying to avoid the pressure to be like everybody else.”
“Just You and Me,” the first song she wrote on ukulele, has a ‘20s New Orleans swing jazz vibe.
“I get my melodic feel from the simplicity of classic jazz, people singing what they felt with straightforward lyrics and not too many harmonies,” Zee says. “Just a lot of honesty. I’m a girl of simple pleasures.
The elemental acoustic guitar of “Story of…” is enhanced with an Eno-like ambience that add to its shimmering quality, while “Poppy” is autobiographical “with a little bit of poetic license” that looks back at the demise of a two-year relationship.
“My stuff is pretty dark,” Zee admits. “Most of my songs are about the reality side of romance, outlets to vent my emotions.”
