"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. On her buzzy new track and tour, the Swedish star's brand of indie-pop is becomes crystal clear"
V Magazine
 
"Lee is making Kate Bush-influenced pop songs...there are moments of beauty in every single one" - The Fader
 
"Swedish pop auteur Jonna Lee doesn't just craft an odd and beautiful audiovisual world, but as the iamamiwhoami collective's face, voice and driving force, has you venturing around a netherworld of the subverted familiar" - Dazed & Confused
 
"Expect a mysterious explosion of sound that carries the legacy of simmering euro-disco simmering in the background, obscured by decaying organic foliage sporting the first signs of spring flowers" - Flaunt 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

"She has created music, video, choreography, fashion, and creative direction, for over a decade, and has made countless of music/videos with millions of views. She is a true testament and inspiration for what an independent artist can accomplish" - Blurred Culture

"Remember the Future" is "about finding an alternate light to aim against when all has gone to blazes," ionnalee shared, beginning with the powerful opening lyrics, "moving forth without a reason / find another kind of truth / try expanding the horizon / with our heads into the blue / floating freely use no pressure / hear beyond these frequency / and my skin burns from the fire / as it flares inside of me."
