Zee Avi is just 23 years old, but she’s an old soul. A huge talent in a petite frame, Avi brings a universal message from the unlikely birthplace of Borneo, an ancient island east of Malaysia that remains an untouched, natural paradise, an apt description of her songs. This self-described “rock lover at heart” captures the dark, bittersweet qualities of romance with a crack left open for hope and optimism. The songs on Zee Avi’s debut are about an outsider’s desire to belong and the tentative hope of moving on, filled with regret and loss, but boasting an impish, worldly wise sensibility. “I tend to be a loner,” she nods. “'Honey Bee’ is about a romance between two nonconformists who are different from the rest of the hive, and are trying to avoid the pressure to be like everybody else.”
