The sound is absolutely huge. Distorted, fried synths collide with bombastic bass and an electronic pulse built for movement, while Lee’s extraordinary vocal towers above it all. Powerful, theatrical and carrying operatic shades reminiscent of Marina, she drives ‘Myriad Reflector’ towards an enormous, cathartic chorus. When she declares, “Now I barely hear you when I’m blowing out the speakers”, the production makes good on every word. It’s synth-pop, electro-pop and dance-pop thrown together at full volume, sounding gloriously triumphant in the process.

That euphoria spills into Matty Vogel’s colourful video, filmed on the New York City subway as Lee returns to the city that raised her. Friends and strangers become individual pieces of its moving mosaic, with moments of chaos and pure joy transforming the everyday setting into a celebration. Like the mirrorball at its centre, ‘Myriad Reflector’ finds something beautiful in fragmentation – and Cherry Bomb makes it shine brilliantly.

With a reference to Madonna’s ‘Material Girl,’ made for 2026 on the bubbling Y2K earworm, the track details the real struggles of being both a musician and a person today. Speaking on the contrived displays of perfection on social media and pressures of constant self-promotion, Lee explains, “‘Digital Girl’ asks how far are you willing to go for your dreams and at what cost? In this Information Age where the pressures of perfection and an unsustainable quantity over quality are constantly burning out not just artists but everyone who is plugged in, it’s impossible to not romanticize unplugging entirely.”

Torn between keeping up and giving up on the broken system, but ultimately choosing to chase her passion and find love within, Lee continues, “Remembering a time when you could tour without social media to adapting to social media now becoming an algorithmic gatekeeper for musicians while the charts are riddled with AI-generated songs leaves you at a crossroads of having to partake in the systems you hate for the sake of what you love.”
