About Me
Album «Inner Exile» out now!*
«(...) «Lee Everton manages to let playful and detailed songwriting appear humble, plain and like jingled effortlessly off the cuff. (...) Lee Everton's music comes from the heart and goes to the heart. His «Slingstyle Music» refines even cheerless days with a bittersweet taste and leaves me with a gentle smile. You can't be thankful enough for this.»
Dani Fromm, laut.de
«Bienvenue dans l'alcove douce et tres chaleureuse de cette pepite prometteuse» Groove Magazine, France
«(...) The young Swiss singer has created an impressive and emotional debut album and has found his own style far from any clichés and trends. It's about meaning, about emotion and melody. Slingstyle Music indeed! Everton leads through «Inner Exile» realistically, thoughtfully and charismatically. (...) Have fun with this masterpiece!»Reggae Nation Germany
«The 15 dreamy songs of the Swiss singer with a touch of reggae are a serious competition for Jack Johnson.».
Playboy Germany
«Envoûtant et déconcertant.» Rap Mag, France
«Fa freddo e qualcosa vi gira male. Passate davanti a un negozio di musica che offre, a poco, Lee Everton. Lo comprate e partite in viaggio. Inner Exile è una catapulta che vi lancia in un monde che non c'è. Esiste solo lì, tra 15 canzoni che ondeggiano tra la Giamaica e la Colifornia, tra Peter Tosh e Jackson Browne (quello che talvolta si tinge di reggae, va da sé), tra la Brixton di quando i Clash imparavano certe ritmiche dai dischi di Bob Marley e l'America di tanti cantautori gentili (James Taylor, uno a caso). Everton è svizzero e bianco ma chi lo direbbe da questo esordio di mostruosa bellezza. Sentitelo quando canta il Sam Cooke di Bring It on Home to Me o scrive King Vapor, che sembra un omaggio a Curtis Mayfield. Roba da strappara il biglietto di rotorno.» E.L., Rolling Stone Italy
(...) Lee Evertons Debut Inner Exile ist die entspannteste Scheibe seit Jack Johnson auf den Plan trat. Der Mann hat die Souveränität, einfache Griffe und Melodien wirken zu lassen, wie es sonst nur ein Ry Cooder wagt. Er vertraut seiner Stimme, ohne sie zu Kapriolen zu stressen. Über diese Laidbackness verfügen sonst nur Jamaikaner, die Roots Reggae spielen und singen. Und trotz Reggae als musikalischer Vorlage hegt er die gleiche Lebenspassion für Soul wie ein Van Morrison. Zu hoch die Jubelei? Nein, der Mann hat es einfach drauf. (...) RBB Online
«(...) Hier hat Lee Everton den Charme (und auch teilweise die Stimme) vom großen Van Morrison. Das hört man sofort. Das ist auch alles andere als störend - mehr positiv überraschend. Hier gibt's feinfühligen, teils melancholischen Roots-Reggae mit Blues. Bitte, bitte mehr davon.»
