“Diamond Jubilee” is Cindy Lee’s seventh studio album, released on March 29, 2024. The album is available exclusively on YouTube and GeoCities, embracing a retro aesthetic that harkens back to the early days of the internet.

Cindy Lee’s Unique Release Strategy

Rejecting the typical distribution channels, Cindy Lee (the stage persona of Canadian musician Patrick Flegel) opted to release “Diamond Jubilee” via a sketchy download link on a GeoCities website. This unconventional method mirrors the artist’s resistance to commercial pressures (go Cindy!!) & of the streaming era, allowing them to maintain total control over their music.

Critical Acclaim for a Critical Album

Despite its unconventional release, “Diamond Jubilee” has garnered significant critical acclaim. Pitchfork awarded it the highest score given to a new release in four years, praising its ambitious blend of vintage sounds and modern production.

Musical Composition

The album spans various genres, sounds and styles. From dream pop introductions to folk sounding lofi tunes and sooo much more. Take a listen to find out for yourself, this seriously isn’t an album we want to explain in text. 

Quite possibly one of the more conceptual and boundary pushing releases from 2024 and one which surely will make it as one of the top albums of the year. 

Track Highlights

“Diamond Jubilee” features 32 tracks across two discs. Notable tracks include:

  • “Baby Blue”
  • “Dreams of You”
  • “Flesh and Blood”
  • “Deepest Blue”

Each track showcases Cindy Lee’s ability to blend vintage pop aesthetics with really introspective and progressive sounds. 

Production Details

  • Producer: Patrick Flegel
  • Contributing Artist: Steven Lind

Live Performances and Tour

Cindy Lee’s live performances are known for their theatricality and emotional intensity. However, the artist recently cancelled the remaining dates of their spring tour for personal reasons.

Cindy Lee’s “Diamond Jubilee” stands as a bold statement against the commercialization and quite frankly, standardization of music. We celebrate this artistic independence and authenticity. Immersive, impactful and original. What else can we ask for?
