Last night, Buzzy Lee celebrated her EP release at an intimate release show at her late grandmother's restaurant the Milky Way in Hollywood:
PRAISE FOR BUZZY LEE:
"With a voice that can gracefully maneuver across octaves, the singer fills her measures with dramatic flourish that recalls British singer Kate Bush." - LA Times
"Jaar's smooth and simple arrangement casts his typical downtempo style in a poppier tone, an appropriate backing for Spielberg's perky and emotive vocals." - Stereogum
"'No Her'' is a dreamy, heartfelt ballad, with Jaar's dramatic, subtly sweeping production acting as a haunting backdrop for Spielberg's soul-baring expression of self-doubt." - Gorilla vs. Bear
"Facepaint is a blend of both of their personalities - Sasha's insecurities emoted through vulnerable, luscious vocals; Jaar's cool jazz and classical-influenced electronic beats and warm synths." - i-D
"The vibe is emotional DIY-electro meets Hollywood sheen, and it's glorious." - Paste
"An intimate exploration of Spielberg's anxieties and vulnerabilities via jazzy vocals and unobtrusive instrumentals." - W
