"Lee Feldman's "I've Forgotten Everything" is unlike anything else in cotemporary pop. If you have a passion for good songwriting, you need this album. - Stereophile
"Lee Feldman uses a Tin Pan Alley bounce to make twisted or troubled situations sound like parlor songs." - NY Times
"Chances are his finely tuned records will continue to be discovered by discerning listeners years down the road." - Chicago Tribune
"Reviving a bit of Brill Building artistry, this New York piano man makes you think and swoon and hum all at once." - Village Voice
"Lee Feldman plays the piano in just the dry, subtle, understated manner that his dry, subtle, understatedly hilarious songs call for." - Atlantic Monthly
"Lee Feldman brings to mind the classic early work of Randy Newman both in terms of timeless songcrafting and ambitious arranging. The often haunting Living It All Wrong gets most everything right." - Rolling Stone
"Feldman's poignant and occasionally disquieting vignettes mine complex truths, finding romance and heartbreak in the mundane details and rituals of daily life. . . . A winner in any year." - Time Out, New York
" Keep in mind how long it took for people to figure out the greatness of
Tom Waits and Randy Newman, and keep your eye on Lee." - CMJ Online
Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella

Recently, I added a new song to my music player called, "Always" which might be one of the best songs I've written so far. Tthe chorus was scored for an entire violin section, however, in studio, I had one violinist, Jan "Yes I Can" Sullins. I asked her to single handedly create the sound of a "Hollywood style" string section. This is almost like telling someone, "Please jump rope one handed 10 times while monkeys nip at your feet."
Lucky for me, Jan worked some magic and now you can hear it for yourself. So can you do me a favor? For the sake of Jan and her "can do" attitude, please check out "Always," track 1 in my music player. It's from my upcoming album, "Awakening," which will be released June 16th. Better yet, add it to your playlist if you like it.
You became my new friend and i'm very thankfull..for real to celebrate that here is a little comp of some stuff i do..waiting for the Album.. just click the image to find it
