Buzzy Lee announces new album Shoulder to Shoulder, shares lead single “Bad Company”

Buzzy Lee, the musical project of Los Angeles songwriter Sasha Spielberg, has announced her third studio album, Shoulder To Shoulder, set for release on March 27, 2026 via Future Classic. It marks her first full-length since Internal Affairs in 2023, and it began taking shape after she moved to New York in 2021 to live with her partner, Harry McNally. What started as simple home recording sessions between the two gradually evolved into something more meaningful. After rediscovering those early sketches a year later, they realized they had the emotional foundation for a new album. Determined to preserve that initial spark, much of the record was ultimately captured in their Chelsea loft, where their shared living space became a creative sanctuary. The result is a deeply personal collection of songs that feels intimate, cinematic, and obviously, rooted in real life.

The first taste of the album comes with “Bad Company,” a tender ballad written at the piano late one evening. The song grew out of a quiet domestic moment, with its chorus taking shape naturally as the music filled the room. Written and composed by Buzzy Lee, and shaped through warm, understated production, it captures the beauty of small, shared moments. Naturally, the accompanying video is just as intimate, and it was edited by Buzzy Lee herself.

“No Her” is taken from Buzzy Lee‘s debut EP “Facepaint” due out on April 27 via Future Classic.

Sasha Spielberg follows up on “Coolhand” with a dreamy and subtle new track track. The artist, who is known under her music moniker of Buzzy Lee, has worked with Nicolas Jaar on her upcoming debut EP and you can really hear it on “No Her”. The alchemy between her dramatic lyrics and the gossamer production is particularly working. Listen to Buzzy Lee‘s fragile ballad “No Her” below.

About the track, Buzzy Lee detailed:

[su_quote]‘No Her’ is about that piece of myself that I’m worried my partner will discover isn’t really there. That there is an ideal ‘her’; someone’s idea of me is different from who I am, and yet, I’m worried the other ‘her’ is the one who has drawn them in… But to be fully honest it’s about not believing someone loved me.[/su_quote]
