Just Something: In conversation with Dee C Lee

UK Soul Sensation Dee C Lee is back with a brand new single and an incredible album – her first in 26 years

Cheshire’s MIX56 is the station of the stars and we were delighted to welcome Dee C Lee to our morning show.

Dee has been in the music business for quite some time, not just as a singer, but songwriter too. 

One-time member of Wham! and later, the Style Council – she’s also had a string of solo records in the charts, including her iconic self-penned evergreen hit See The Day which reached the dizzy heights of #3 in 1985.

The song was covered more recently in 2005 by Girls Aloud and became another top 10 hit.

Roll on 26 years and a chance meeting with Eddie Piller of Acid Jazz records led to Dee returning to the studio – and working with old friends including Mick Talbot (Style Council).

The result is Say Something – an incredible soul/jazz offering which is already dominating the charts.  It’s currently standing at #1 on the official Jazz and Blues chart!

It was lovely to catch up with Dee and to have a chat about her long career and her plans for the future.

You can listen again right here.

Listen out for Dee’s new single Walk Away on the MIX56 A list and Hot 7 at 7.
