"Lee is making Kate Bush-influenced pop songs...there are moments of beauty in every single one" - The Fader"Mysterious...intriguing" - Stereogum"One of the most exciting and visually innovative artists in music...merging beautiful icy synths with unconventional melodies and structures to create intangible yet dazzling music, each with a strong message to dissect" - V Magazine"Lee's voice is delicate and otherworldly, weaving its way through warm synth blasts and creeping percussion" - The Guardian"ionnalee is a natural evolution, a conduit for her singular vision, imbued with experiences past, yet marking the dawn of a fresh era" - AnOther Magazine"More direct in her singing and backed by its commanding rhythm, ['SAMARITAN'] challenges the heightened and unrealistic expectations of female artists today" - The 405
