Get ready to commit the Perfect Crime- The 14 Track Deluxe Edition of “The Perfect Crime” is now available for pre-order on iTunes. Find out what Margaret Cho, Darick Robertson, Direct Current, Larry LeBlanc, & The Key Philadelphia are talking about…. They’ve all fallen in love with your Perfect Criminals-

“…Perfect Crime is Perfect Bliss…and dazzles the listener with images of some great noir film you think you’ve seen. Funky and soulful, mysterious and alluring, the album’s narrative holds together throughout, weaving a sultry tale of seduction, personal empowerment and longing. It’s the perfect album for lingering in bed on a warm morning with your lover (or someone else’s).” - Darick Robertson – Creator / Illustrator, The Boys & Transmetropolitan

“In possession of a voice that’s part Billie Holiday smoky seduction and part coy pop vixen Gwen Stefani , Lee and her band swing, shake and strut their way through an evershifting melange of styles on their new album The Perfect Crime (February 28, Peak/E1), touching (and smashing through) alt/pop, jazzy, brassy soul and slow burning torch songs with unrestrained glee.{…}Magnolia Memoir keeps things sleek and playful — though you know there’s something slightly dark and demented lurking behind the smile, a ragged run in the nylons and a scuff or two in the patent leather pumps.” – Dave Curtis, Direct Current

Produced by Grammy Award Winner – Charles Goodan

Mixed by Grammy Award Winner Krish Sharma

Mastered by Grammy Award Winner Bernie Grundman

“…a captivating blend of the sexiness of jazz and the honesty of Rock” – Naomi Shavin, The Key Philadelphia
