Lisa Bell - Back Seat (2019) Hi Res

It’s never too late! Lisa Bell is releasing her first album of songs written completely by herself, Back Seat. While Bell’s music has its Americana influences, she trends towards jazz, bringing a smooth sense of confidence to her songs. On “I Can’t Stand the Rain,” Bell and her son create a rich soundscape to explore some stormy circumstances.

Combining seamlessly together Bell’s expressive voice and ever-evolving writing chops, these finely-tuned elements combine to tell the story of an empty nester who, having spent years raising her children, is ready to climb back into the driver’s seat and chase down new dreams.

Americana by definition, jazz-inflected by class, Colorado’s roots singer-songwriter Lisa Bell repossesses her own imaginations and drive for a music careerwhile it’s been six years since her last full-length, her craft has only burned stronger and brighter and braver. 12 songs were born out of a secluded trip to a backwoods cabin; with producer Evan Reeves, Bell peels back layers of her voice like an onion newly uncovered from the earth. She’s flavorful but unpolished enough to crack and let the character dazzle the edges.
