Now

A mid-seventies blend of Nashville country and soft-pop sophistication. Lee's legendary rasp finds a mellow, mature home among warm strings and electric pianos.

It's Brenda Lee's voice at its most relaxed and soulful, like a warm sunset over a Nashville studio.

A warm, reflective collection of songs that feels like a comfortable conversation with an old friend.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The surprising soulful bounce of the Billy Preston cover Nothing From Nothing where Lee proves her grit works in a funkier context.

The delicate, almost whispered delivery on Please Don't Tell Me How the Story Ends that showcases her mature restraint.

The lush, swelling string arrangement on Big Four Poster Bed that elevates the domestic narrative into something cinematic.
