Everyone has sent or received a ‘We Need To Talk’ text and I hope everyone sees their story in this song.

Jamie-Lee wears her heart on her sleeve weaving in her raw and heartfelt lyrics and emotional, yet unapologetic, vocal delivery to create something that is bound to tug at the heart strings of listeners.

“We set out to make a beat with real organic sounds and I wanted that beat to be felt right in the chest, the same way I felt when I was writing the song.”

A multi-faceted artist, Jamie-Lee Sexton plays an array of instruments. On the track, she specifically focuses on creating unique sounds on guitar , as she continues to showcase what an exceptional musician she is.

Jamie-Lee has also released the music video for the song. In the beautifully shot clip, directed by Studio Chapters, objects like the house and car used in the video all touch on the idea of seeing part of one’s past in the future.

Jamie-Lee Sexton explains

“Driving around in the car is a time I keep for myself to reflect and go over my thoughts. I do this daily, when driving to meetings, studio etc, I sing out loud, think out loud and use this time to test all my musical and everyday ideas,” “It’s the time I get to spend with me. I wanted to add this visual representation into the video because I know plenty of people out there can relate.”

“After watching the music video, I hope viewers feel liberated and free after reminiscing on difficult conversations they might have had in the past. The song, and what we did with the music video, is a celebration and expression of empowerment and a metaphor for moving forward in life.”
