ALTERNATIVE / INDIE
Yorkshire, england
THE UK IS SPITTING OUT SOME ABSOLUTE GOLDEN ERA GUITAR-DRIVEN BELTERS RECENTLY, WITH THE RISE OF SAM FENDER AND WUNDERHORSE TO EARMARK TWO OF THE BETTER ONES THAT HAVE ASCENDED OUR RADAR. FIONA-LEE BURSTS ONTO THE SCENE READY TO REVEAL THE PAINS OF THE LAST 25 YEARS OF HER LIFE, INCLUDING COPING WITH THE SUICIDE OF HER FRIEND AROUND 6 YREARS PRIOR. DROPPING YESTERDAY AND APTLY NAMED NOTHING COMPARES TO NINETEEN AS AN ODE, THE CHARMING parvenu TAKES CUES FROM THE AFOREMENTIONED FENDER IN STYLE AND SOUND WHILE ALSO MOLDING IN THAT SEMBLANCE THAT SPRINGSTEEN HAS CARRIED UPWARDS OF ALMOST 50 YEARS AGO (WHICH FENDER ALSO IS KEEN TO HOAN IN ON AT TIMES).
PROFILED A FEW MONTHS AGO BY ROLLING STONE UK AS A ‘PLAY NEXT’ CONTENDER, FIONA-LEE HAS ALL OF THE MARKERS AND MAKINGS TO BE THE NEXT GREAT FEMALE power STORYTELLER. WE CAN ONLY ASSUME THIS DEBUT EP IS JUST THE FIRST SCRATCH ON AN EVER-EVOLVING SURFACE, AND WE CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE NEXT YEAR OR TWO BRING FOR THIS RISING STAR.
