On November 20th, 2020, AWAKEN—the latest musical collaboration from Lee Harris and Davor Bozic—was released into the world and is now available for listeners’ journeying pleasure. The album, tuned to the frequency of 528Hz, “the miracle note”, might indeed be just that for anyone seeking a healing balm for their heavy heart and weary soul.
AWAKEN opens with an enchanting instrumental intro, initially clothed in the sounds of vinyl record player static—a juxtaposition that mirrors the distracting “noises” of our present reality that can sometimes obscure the deeper truths coming to light. The static fades away to highlight the pristine sonic space and heart-opening tones that are distinctively displayed on the album, offering us a perfect preview of what’s in store for the musical journey ahead.
The first song, “Roads To Forever”, is a captivating piano-driven ballad that draws the listener into an intimate space in which it feels as though Lee is speaking directly to us, offering that familiar, trusted voice of comfort and reassurance, and a soft place to land.
The title track, “Awaken”, poignantly speaks to the tall task we are currently facing, as humanity collectively confronts the impact of our past choices and as we move towards and birth a new Earth. Set against a compelling musical backdrop that reveals more of the rich, eclectic palette and diversity of sounds featured throughout the album, Lee’s voice resonates as an invitation to rise to the occasion, and as a call to action that bears a palpable sense of immediacy.
From there, the journey of AWAKEN continues to invite and lovingly guide listeners into the depths of our own experience and inner world, while speaking directly to the external challenges and realities we are all currently navigating in what Lee describes as “a very tender year on Earth”. Throughout the ten-track album, Lee’s message is greatly enhanced by his willingness to share and express from within the vulnerability and harvested wisdom of his own lived experiences. This is most evident on “To Live Another Day”, a courageously intimate lyric and personal song about the recent passing of his father.
Sharing his inspiration and hope for the way in which AWAKEN will be experienced and received by listeners, Lee spoke to this balance and the beautiful dance between personal and universal themes woven into the album.
“We see our music as transformational music—music to feel with and become more conscious through. The lyrics are often informed by what our community members of several thousand worldwide are experiencing in their life journeys. Other times, they are more personal. So, the album holds an intimate personal space, and also a wide focus on us as humanity.”
There is no question that Lee and Davor have hit that mark and far exceeded it with this creation. AWAKEN is an album of healing music, a collection of songs for the heart and soul, and a soundtrack for the spiritual seeker journeying home and navigating the full humanity of this moment in history.
That said, this is a transformational music offering unlike any other. Lee and Davor show range and a willingness to stretch the sonic palette and instrumentation well-beyond anything we’ve heard before with genre-bending boldness. From the edgy electric guitars and soulful background vocals on “Awaken”, to the haunting horns, exotic sounds, and tribal chants on “All Who Walk The Earth”, and everything in between, this album stands in a musical space of its own.
AWAKEN is a coming-of-age of Lee and Davor’s musical partnership, and a ripening of the longstanding creative collaboration between two masters of their crafts. Davor’s production is fully alive and finely attuned to the depth and subtleties of Lee’s stunning melodies and soul-stirring lyrical messages. This is apparent in the evocative swell of cinematic soundscapes alongside Lee’s soaring, multi-layered vocals and uplifting chorus arrangements. It is also present in the quieter moments, where the slightest sonic touches and infusions of colour perfectly complement Lee’s softly-sung, soothing whispers and powerfully gentle delivery.
Over the many years of devoted service spanning his incredibly vast body of work, Lee Harris has been described as a transformational leader, an intuitive guide, and a renaissance man. With AWAKEN, we can definitively add healing artist and mystical musician to the list.
