MAD LEE Explores The Blues on ‘Blind Lady Justice’

Mad Lee has just released his debut single, ‘Blind Lady Justice’. A track that perfectly traces the whimsical contours of blues.

The artist tells an elaborate story. With jazz frills, walking blues, rolling basslines, and coiling trumpets, the landscape is the perfect backdrop for Mad Lee’s vocals. There’s a cinematic flair to it all; dramatic build-ups and fanfare frames contribute to the transformation of the theme’s sentiments.

‘Blind Lady Justice’ is a straightforward smoky blues-joint recalling number that chugs along with a classic, rowdy-but-midtempo blues rhythm. This song is characterized by guitar picking and keyboard work, leading to a nifty musical outro as well as a hard stop at the end.

The song tells a story. That used to be quite common in popular music, but these days it’s rare. The man in the song is wanted for murder but he doesn’t see himself as a bad guy. More like a victim of circumstance. He is afraid he will face a death sentence, but even more afraid of prison and the loss of his freedom. He prefers a life of being on the run and having to look over his shoulder for lawmen and people seeking revenge. It’s not clear who or what the man is, but he is convinced that his eventual and inevitable death will make headlines. The message that the song conveys is clear: Always chew before you swallow.

The band’s skillful composition demonstrates that music can serve as a guide through the bittersweet terrain of life. This track successfully rouses you and sets you on your virtual heels for a rigorous escape through its spirited rhythms and beats.

There is so much variety in the tonal content of the vocals; the lows are low, the highs are high, and the expression and power really stand out. The soundscape is rich and almost warming, with a vibrant, colorful melody that runs throughout the piece. This composition contains many subtleties, pauses and fills add anticipation and intensify the vibe before building to a final crescendo of sonic delight. It’s a song that makes you want to hit repeat.

Throughout the track, you can sense their passion as composers, and their energy becomes infectious as it merges with the throbs of your heart and resonates with your rising spirit. ‘Blind Lady Justice’ is an excellent exploration of blues by musicians who really know their stuff.
