Jamai (from Chester, PA) was a contestant on The Voice Season 14 (2018) and was a member of Alicia Keys' team. For his blind audition he sang Usher's "U Got It Bad".

He released a new single today "All The Things (Your Man Won't Do)" (26 Mar 2022) (a cover of Joe's 1997 hit) and has a forthcoming album" Twenty Three" due on 7 May 2022 but it doesn't feature this single.

Freddie Lee [2022] - Freedom [Renegade Soul Records]


This new single marks the return of soul and gospel singer Freddie Lee (Peterkin) from Pahokee, FL, after a 10-year hiatus from the music scene.

He has a new sound and direction with a soul jazz stepper "Freedom" which has caused a storm on social media with its mini movie music video, filmed in London.  

Freddie Lee made his mark in 2008 to 2010 with the crossover Gospel Soul album "Beyond Comprehension" which led to a career TV, film and theatre.

Freedom began as a melodic and instrumental idea created by Dana Meyers (hit songwriter for Shalamar, The Whispers, Glen Jones) and the late Kevin Johnson of the group Slave.  Freddie Lee added lyrics and his signature harmony arrangements along with Jessie Tsang.  5am productions aka Tony Bean and Colin Basset have given this track track a real contemporary Gamble and Huff flavour with a touch of jazz.     

It is released on Renegade Soul Records and will be available (soon TBC) on all good digital platforms.
