Love Storm
Jess Lee
Drama is good when it comes to music. Malaysian singer Jess Lee’s previous album featured Cliff To Heaven, a roller-coaster ride of a track which soared and plunged to thrilling effect.
There is an attempt to capture the turbulent emotions of that stronger hit with Snowstorm. She seems to be throwing caution to the wind as she sings: “Your love is like a snowstorm/I don’t mind losing everything.”
The ballads here, such as Chain Of Love and Nostalgia, leave a deeper impression than the faster- paced, more light-hearted tracks.
It has to be said, though, that listening to Lee on disc does not quite do her stunning pipes justice.
I still remember her powerhouse performance of Cliff To Heaven at the Singapore Hit Awards in 2014, one which stood out impressively from the pack.
It is not for nothing that she was the winner of the seventh season of singing competition One Million Star (2010 to 2011). Hopefully, she will get to hold her own gig here soon and sing up a storm.
