Who else is better than Michael Buble in the new generation of jazz singers?

Male narah jones: Amos Lee

Amos Lee sings a blend of Jazz, Blues, Pop, R&B... and is a guitarist in his own right. Amos Lee is a guitarist who specializes in guitar. His voice has a very special quality, mellow and mellow, but not drifting. It doesn't rely on strong rhythms, it doesn't rely on shouting, it's like it always has a hold on the listener. He also has a very distinctive artist's temperament, dashing, self-assured and understated, a different tone compared to those commercial singers.

Amos Lee, 27, began his musical journey in 1995, when he was an English major at the University of South Carolina, where he met many like-minded people and began playing guitar, singing and writing songs. After graduating, Lee returned to his hometown of Philadelphia to teach in an elementary school, eventually choosing to give up his stable teaching job to pursue his dream. However, the road was tough, Lee worked in a restaurant serving dishes and bartending in a bar to put food on the table, and of course, kept writing songs.

Slowly, Amos Lee began to play local shows, and gradually gained some popularity, recording his own EP with his own money and getting good reviews and sales. "The Philadelphia Inquirer described Lee as "one of the most talked about stars of tomorrow". Lee has since been honored to open for Bob Dylan, B.B. King, and in 2004, he was asked to open for Norah Jones on her European tour. With these experiences, Lee has been able to see the real big scene, face tens of thousands of fans and transmit his passion for music without any fear, and the media has not been shy to give the most positive recognition to this newcomer. Lee's excellent performance also earned him a place as Norah Jones' mentor, who played piano for Amos on his debut Keep It Loose, Keep It Tight, and even harmonized for him on the seventh track, Colors. All in all, Amos Lee's music is very sincere and similar in style to Norah Jones.
