Formed from the ashes of a straight-up grunge/acoustic duo called Stroke The Pussy, solo artist Mae Lei lets you have it from the tips of her talented fingers.  Urban Queen ejects all tendencies toward grunge and plunges headlong into the spaced-out head trip territory of experimental folk-roots, jazz-fusion, rave-techno, blues-rock music. Now before you dismiss Urban Queen as just another female jam artist fondling chopped and screwed acoustic chord progressions and rock riffs from behind a cloud of reefer, it is essential that UQ's progressive rock leanings be taken into consideration:there are few artists that can pull off a 45-minute song that wanders through a stoner's paradise only to be disrupted by a faulty-mobile phone conversation before plunging through an Alice in Wonderland rabbit hole of vacuum-packed riffage and keyboard meanderings that would leave Jethro Tull and Hawkwind in tears.

If you don't believe Urban Queen can pull off such musical alchemy, then listen to the ONE LIFE, ONE SONG album sampler. Once you're done, download the whole darn thing. Chill, kick back and enjoy the entire 45-minute album that is just one track, one name, with one aim: ONE LIFE, ONE SONG.
