Ben Lee "Love is the Great Rebellion" Interview (Part Two)
the AU review's Larry Heath sits down with Ben Lee to talk about his new record "Love is the Great Rebellion", out 29th May 2015.
In the second part to our interview with Ben Lee, we touch on meeting audience expectations: "In a way there was something new happening in that I stopped fighting the flow of what my audience wanted... I started realising - I'm picking the wrong battle! These guys actually like my music, they like coming to my shows.... why am I trying to undermine them all the time?" Lee also said: "I just thought, let me work with what people expect of me, and give them these pop songs... Then hopefully I can Trojan Horse the experience once again, and insert something in there that will be subversive and expansive within that experience..."
Finally, when asked about what Australian crowds could expect from his live shows, Lee stated "I try and make (my shows) a living thing. I like to have an actual experience - I have to learn from it. I don't know exactly what will happen but I'll try and be present and do my best."
