With a voice as powerful and eclectic as her personality, Andee is well on her way to take Canada’s pop scene by storm.
The proof is all over Andee’s recent album release, One Plus One Equals Us, the next phase of her artistic evolution that began in earnest in 2011 when she won the hearts of audiences in her native Quebec through appearances on the television show Star Académie.
Andee has returned with a fresh approach to her sound after overcoming a dark period in her life. This led her in new sonic directions with the help of producers Emery Taylor and Herag Sanbalian, although the focus remained on catchy melodies, sick beats and emotionally charged lyrics.
“These new songs are definitely about personal experiences that affected me like nothing I had been through before,” Andee says. “A lot happened over the course of five years. Ultimately, I wanted to expose a very vulnerable side of myself to talk about hopelessness, mental despair, growth, euphoria and resilience.”
As she recorded this new body of work, Andee drew strength for herself from listening to Tina Turner (“the ultimate badass”) and other artists she has long admired, from Celine Dion and Christina Aguilera to Alicia Keys and Florence and the Machine. It’s all helped to up her game as a live performer as well, pushing her to expand her solid fan base within Canada to markets around the world. Whether she is on stage or in the studio, Andee’s goal is always to connect with listeners as intimately as she can. One Plus One Equals Us, is Andee’s second full-length album and was released under Coalition Music Records.
