FRANCESCA LEE IN THE PRESS
Read About What The Press Has To Say About Francesca's New Album "The Pieces Left."
Bay Area songwriter/recording artist Francesca Lee and her producer Michael Winger do a wise thing by highlighting Lee’s lovely, engaging voice in each tune on her new album, The Pieces Left. At first listen, Lee has the kind of almost-familiar voice that may remind listeners of artists they’ve heard before, but a more discerning listen reveals a unique, emotionally brave vocalist and songwriter who handles quite well the delicate task of evoking both strength and deeply felt passion, as well as vulnerability and thoughtful restraint—sometimes within a single song.
Pop Matters Music Blog by PC Muñoz
Francesca Lee is a talented lady. In addition to her lovely vocals, she plays piano, acoustic guitar, synths, and Wurlitzer on The Pieces Left. This is a very personal album, with lyrics that ring true to life. The music is light, airy pop with a melancholy tone, delicate and cleverly arranged. Thoroughly lovely stuff.
East Bay Express Local Licks by Kirsty Evans
Her vocals were achingly heartfelt, and sung with an emotional resonance... more a jazz chanteuse than a typical pop singer. She is at her best when making quick, gentle turns of inflection, such as on the number, Maybe Today. She played through a full set without a disappointing number in the bunch, and with a great deal of enthusiasm for finally sharing the music with the world. Her songs wouldn't be out of place next to the likes of Norah Jones or Dido.
The San Francisco Examiner by Patrick Owens
“This album is filled with lovely, melodic songs that channel more Nerina Pallot or Beth Waters than any hipster folkie. Francesca’s voice is beautiful. It’s peaceful and calming and suits this type of music very nicely. I really really like it. A beautiful record.”
