‘Our City’, the new single from North East-based rock outfit Jeanice
Lee, gives off symphonic metal vibes and strong operatic vocals. Backed
by heavy rock guitars, distorted bass and heavy drums, these elements
thread together seamlessly.
The track has similar qualities to work from bands such as Winter in
Eden and Within Temptation with the heavy rock vibes, the epic lead
guitar solos and a powerful female singer fronting.
When learning of Jeanice’s connection to Hong Kong the lyrics
suddenly develop a new layer of depth: connecting the story conveyed
through the lyrics to the recent events in Hong Kong, with the Chinese
Government trying to encroach on Hong Kong’s rights to freedom.
The lyrics and connections make what is already a great song into a beautiful, strong and empowering piece of music.
You can listen to the track now on Soundcloud and Spotify.
