As an IndieRock.News music curator, I’ve had the privilege of encountering countless pieces of music, but it’s rare to come across a song that feels like a warm embrace, a dear friend in times of solitude. Tessa Lee’s latest single, “Dear Friend,” is precisely that—a banger that resonates with the heartstrings and invokes a sense of nostalgic reflection reminiscent of the works of Norah Jones and Joni Mitchell.
Lee’s music is a captivating blend of warm, exuberant indie pop intertwined with delicate jazz and blues roots, creating a sound that’s both refreshing and deeply nostalgic.

Crafted amidst the solitude of the Tasmanian lockdown in autumn 2020, Lee, alongside her remarkable band “The Cold Weather Band,” offers a meditative exploration of the human need for connection.
The inclusion of Jed Pickett’s Hammond organ and Fintan McCullough’s slide guitar adds a layer of classic rock and Americana charm, making the single an easy listening masterpiece that’s hard to forget.
What makes “Dear Friend” an even more captivating listen is the story behind its music video. Shot by Christopher Jolly in the natural beauty surrounding Lee’s home in Northwest Tasmania, the video captures the simple joys of walking in nature with a loyal companion—Lee’s dog.
This personal touch adds a layer of authenticity and relatability, highlighting the song’s universal message of friendship and loyalty.
