I recently talked with Azylya frontwoman Jamie-Lee Smit about her new solo album Mon Amour Monique from her home in Belgium. Mon Amour Monique is a unique blend of catchy pop and solid rock that comes together to form 10 tracks of catchy hooks. Listen to our interview with Jamie as she talks about her songwriting process and how her new album came to form. To hear previews of Mon Amour Monique, check out the previews on The Test Drive. My personal favorites are “Bye Bye You” and “Route 66”.
