About
A newfound interest in Eastern religion set Ben Lee on a mission to communicate comfort and joy, beginning with 2005’s <i>Awake Is the New Sleep</i>. “Whatever It Is” and “We’re All in This Together” are gentle and joyful enough to appeal to parents and kids alike, while Lee’s low-key melodicism makes us believe in the openhearted intentions of “I’m Willing” and “Gamble Everything for Love.” It sounds like sweet music for a quiet Sunday morning, but there are big emotions lurking beneath the unassuming strumming of “Light.”
