The rule of three is in full effect with Kristen Lee Sergeant, who has just unveiled the third and final single from her hotly-anticipated forthcoming album Falling. After wowing listeners with two singles ('Let's Fall' and 'Sisyphus'), it's safe to say that Sergeant has saved the best for last with 'Orpheus', her incredibly catchy and colorful new track that showcases her dynamic vocal range and singular dramatic flair.

New York-based vocalist Kristen Lee Sergeant has dropped another gem from her forthcoming album Falling. She's just released 'Sisyphus', a cathartic rumination on the depth to be found in repetition.

Kristen Lee Sergeant is joined on her new album by Ted Nash and a collection of great jazz musicians.
