Fight or Flight? is the debut recording from Ottawa based vocalist Kellylee Evans, and it would seem by all accounts that she has chosen to take flight delivering an excellent album of great music and fine vocals.

In 2004, Kellylee was awarded second place in the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Jazz Vocals Competition, and we were famillier with her here having heard her performing with the Global Divas, so we were giddy with anticipation for this album to arrive. Let me tell you, this one doesn’t disappoint. Spanning jazz, soul, R & B, blues and world music rhythms Ms. Evans has brought together a brilliant group of musicians to support her soaring vocals, and delivers 11 original compositions that from start to finish both entertain and inspire.

From the great opener “What About Me?,” to the latin infused “Rapunzel” and the toe tapping “How Can You Get Along Without Me?” Kellylee’s vocals are superb and draws you into her world with her unique lyrics and story.

Currently on her “From the Capital to the Capital” tour, and having recently been asked to open for Tony Bennett at the Montreal stop of his tour it would seem that we will be hearing much more of Kellylee Evans in the future, and that certainly is a good thing.
