Wondering how Golden Guitar nominated Jason Lee has stayed motivated over his 15-year career in the music industry? 'It's about getting good music out to the folks,' he says. 'That's why I do it.' And good music is somewhat of an understatement, given Lee's history. He's picked up awards for Best Male Artist, Song of the Year, Heritage Song of the Year, along with being nominated for New Oz Artist of the Year, and had a number of songs appear in Top 10 charts around the country over the years. Now, he's returned from a short hiatus with new single 'She's In It', not only proving his staying power, but also his musical growth as time has passed.
'She's In It', Lee says, 'makes me think of my wife. It's about two people in love and the guy can't believe his luck. He struck gold and can't wait to spend every minute with her.' It's a simple concept but one that Lee nails thanks, in part, to the engineering and production of Simon Johnson at Hillbilly Hut Studio.
It's a breezy love song that's bound to put a smile both on your face and in your heart. It showcases Lee's belief in music as a reflection of his life and belief in the country and its people. At its core, there's a tangible sense of affection towards his fans and the entire country scene.
The video echoes the song's simple premise. Directed by Jay Seeney from Blacklist Productions, and filmed in various locations around Appin and Wollongong, the clip follows a young couple falling in love in the picturesque surrounds of the Australian countryside. It's a natural fit, given Lee grew up in nearby Campbelltown, and the simplicity of both the song and video make an understated yet exciting return to the scene for the artist. And with a long, successful history like Lee's including support slots with Adam Harvey, Travis Collins and The McClymonts (just to name a few), we can't wait to see what he'll come up with next.
