"When I opened for Lee a few years ago, I learned a hell of a lot about the road and how you gotta go hard," Lady Wray shares. "Lee is one of my favorite people on Earth. I'm very grateful."

Lady Wray (real name: Nicole Wray) has everything you'd want in a singer: an infectious Jackson-5-family-member flare, a range like Aretha's and a church upbringing that brings an untouchable purity to her vocals. Discovered by Missy Elliot at age 16, the singer-songwriter possesses a rich history in the business, one that's equally textured by struggle and success and includes gold records, fallouts and credits with Timbaland, Aaliyah and other familiar talents.

Produced by Leon Michels and Tommy Brenneck (Charles Bradley, Bados Band), Queen Alone marks the opening of a new chapter for the soulstress. Its fresh spin on classic R&B/pop and the integrity in its soulful storytelling has earned the LP praise from NPR, Billboard, Consequence of Sound and a long list of others.
