Ladies, gentlemen and undecided… welcome to your earworm of the summer.
It’s The Real
Thing, it’s the
debut single from singer-songwriter JoAnna Lee, it’s released on 28th July - and
it’s utterly gorgeous. The album, So Free, follows on 22nd
September.
‘I wrote this song about a boy who walked
into a bar,’ explains JoAnna during the video for the acoustic version
of The Real Thing, which comes as a bonus track on the
single.
"Got a few things going
on to her sound, a bit of soul and pop and a liitle bit of roots as well. I
think she got a vocal style to Jos Stone. I'm sure they'll be plenty more to
come from her!

Experience; Mixcloud) Phoenix Country Radio (Europe’s

About:
Singer-Songwriter from Oregon
‘And
I couldn’t take my eyes off him. I got his name and number, and we had fun. And
that’s all I’m going to say about that!’
Hailing from
small-town Oregon, JoAnna Lee
currently calls Austin, Texas –
where the streets are paved with music – home. Her family – including
grandmother JoAnne Riddle on piano and grandfather Janpa on chromatic harmonica
– sowed the musical seeds, and by the time she was six she’d already graced a
stage or three.
‘Having these experiences and people who helped build and show me life through music is why I have such a passion for it,’ says JoAnna. ‘It is one of the core elements that ties all of us together in this world, and in this life.’
Split-screen
20 years later, and JoAnna had moved to Austin to pursue what comes naturally –
which is when the right doors started opening. Her talent pricked the ears of
multi-platinum selling producer Dwight Baker, with whom JoAnna worked closely
to hone her sound – luscious, soulful pop with just the right amount of grit.
Another
break came when she was invited by Les Cutmore to open for Deep Purple at the
Dubai International Music Festival – soon after that, JoAnna was signed to
Cutmore Records.
And the
public are cottoning on in their droves. The Real Thing has
surpassed 100,000 views on YouTube, with JoAnna’s beautiful acoustic version
not far behind on 40,000. Her official Facebook is knocking on 12k likes,
and The Real Thing is gaining solid play on US radio stations.
Oh, and we
didn’t say JoAnna Lee is ‘the real thing’, because that would’ve been far too
easy.
