Vee ascends on first live album

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Acclaimed NSW singer-songwriter Amy Vee's latest musical offering and third full-length album, sees her stepping outside of the studio and onto the stage, exposing new layers of musical vulnerability. Live at Lizottes, a 12-track live album, will be available on all streaming platforms on 13 October.

Taking to her beloved hometown stage at the iconic Lizotte’s Newcastle earlier this year alongside a stunning 6-piece band, Vee showcased her prowess as not only a prolific songwriter but a consummate performer.

Live at Lizottes is a mesmerising and introspective journey that showcases Vee’s growth and musical maturity. With her soulful voice and evocative songwriting, Vee delivers a collection of songs that resonate deeply, exploring themes of identity, resilience, and personal transformation.

The album opens with Ennui, an initially stripped-down acoustic guitar, setting the stage for Vee’s captivating vocals, which effortlessly glide through the verses, carrying a sense of both fragility and strength. Lyrically, Vee invites us to float in the yearning for a life unlived (a pandemic anthem if there ever was one). The dirge rises with the entry of the band, who skilfully traverse between haunting soundscapes and dark rhythmic rock.

Throughout the album, Vee demonstrates her versatility as a songwriter and performer. The record seamlessly shifts between delicate ballad (The Pilot), bittersweet anthem (Uncrossable), dreamy shoegaze (Without End), and disquieting, guitar-driven lament (Slow Burn), showcasing her ability to command a variety of musical styles. Forget Me is a standout moment, where Vee's haunting vocals intertwine with poetic lyrics to a cathartic crescendo.

Throughout the album, Vee's songwriting shines, demonstrating a poetic sensibility that transcends the boundaries of genre. Her lyrics are imbued with a sense of introspection, capturing moments of vulnerability and self-reflection. Whether she's exploring themes of love, desperation, or self-examination, Vee's words resonate with authenticity and sincerity.

Live at Lizottes is a testament to Amy Vee's artistic evolution and her ability to connect with listeners on a deeply emotional level. This latest project solidifies Vee's place as a talented and compelling artist, and a staying force in Australian music.
