Description:
Produced by John Alagia (John Mayer, Dave Matthews Band, Ben Folds), Ripe represents a new pinnacle for Lee, whether its the on the albums first single, "Love Me Like The World Is Ending," the piano-led march against apathy that is "Numb," the joyously charming tribute to "American Television" (replete with exultant woo-hoo-hoo`s on the chorus) or the catchy duet with Mandy Moore, "Birds and Bees," inspired by the Grease classic "Summer Lovin." Ripe also benefits from guest appearances by members of pop band Rooney on "American Television," "Birds And Bees,"and "Is This How Loves Supposed To Feel?" and Benji Madden of Good Charlotte on "Sex Without Love". Both bands have long been "good mates" of the melodious master. (New West)
