Trapped in a world where he wants to escape but feels so powerless from its mighty aura, Xander Lee closes his eyes and only sees that moment he can’t seem to pass from on the catchy new single to dance with, Private Hell.
Xander Lee is a San Francisco, California-based indie pop/rock-electronic solo singer-songwriter and music producer who is proudly Asian-American with Chinese and Korean roots.
”Viewing himself as a singer-songwriter who uses his voice and the computer as his primary instruments, he combines a focus on lyrical storytelling with creative sound design and production, tipping traditional pop songwriting on its head and drawing you into his searing explorations of mental health and youthful angst.” ~ Xander Lee leading us into his vision for this striking music project
Opening that steaming window to cool down after thinking too much about that special night, Xander Lee drifts into our souls with an ear-catching display that might cause your whole body to shudder rather unexpectedly. Dripping in an anthem-like delivery which has a big stadium written all over it, we find a rising musician who is so valiant on this audacious soundtrack to those days we all wish we could transport back into.
Private Hell from San Francisco, California-based indie pop/rock-electronic artist Xander Lee, is a lust-fueled story that many young lovers have felt during that wonderful summer. He tells us a descriptive story that shall warm your heart and also cause much regret about how it all ended rather quickly when the opposite was supposed to happen. Lathered in confidence and thriving with a splendid sound which could cause temperatures to rise, this is a sizzler for us all to learn from.
Recalling special times can be fun, as long as you can let it go when needed.
