Singer Lee Lewis talks George Michael, Janet Jackson, & why Luther Vandross is the ultimate “singer’s singer”
A post shared by Lee Lewis (@leexlewis)Queer singer Lee Lewis dropped his debut EP Something Burning earlier this year. The seven-song collection dabbles in pop, soul, and R&B and explores a wide array of moods and emotions, tackling themes of heartbreak and abuse, as well as resilience, pride, and self-discovery.In a recent interview with Ebony, the 29-year-old said, “My music is truly my freest self.
Not only is it honest in the stories and experiences that I’m telling, but also in my voice and my singing. It’s the combo of my musical influences, history, family, singing, traumas, joys and stories presenting themselves together in the music.
It’s the most unified and free that I ever felt.”Queerty caught up with Lee for our “Top 10 Tracks” column, where we ask our favorite queer musicians about the music that inspires them.
