There’s a surprising sense of lightness in ‘we don’t need to kiss’, despite its nuanced and introspective lyricism. A contrast that works very well in making the record a unique and worthy listening experience. On one side, you’ll find slow-paced, positive RnB, delivered with organic textures, polite drums and a good dose of cinematic strings. On the other, Christa Lee’s soulful and evocative vocals will certainly be able to offer a hypnotising embrace, taking you into ethereal and charming territories.
Such sonic goodness leaves ample space for a meaningful song. Be it: ‘we don’t need to kiss’ goes beyond its external beauty, touching themes of love, nostalgia and self-growth, all wrapped into a shiny and careful livery. As Christa explains: “Many of the lyrics were written years ago as poems or half-baked ideas in my journal or notes app. It’s so therapeutic to rework them and sing them instead of letting them collect dust in my psyche somewhere.”
Emerging from Madison, US, Christa Lee has not only written such a beautiful song but also recorded and mixed it, something we are incredibly proud of. It showcases the work of a talented creative that goes beyond simply writing lyrics, instead carefully curating each step of the process.
