Lea Maria Fries “Cleo”

Singer Lea Maria Fries presents Cleo, her debut album under her own name, for which she composed most of the music and wrote the lyrics. This profound and delicate work is full of stories, tracing an artist’s intimate journey toward her future with confidence, maturity, and sensitivity.

Her music, alternative in nature, is rooted in Black music and jazz, with one foot in experimental rock. Across styles and languages, the sonic textures and gradual evolutions of the 13 tracks blend beautifully. While Lea’s voice and charisma may recall the explorations of Mélanie De Biasio or the captivating presence and tone of Beth Gibbons, her individuality is unmistakable.
