U.S. singer-songwriter Lee Wilson returns with “Trying Times,” a deeply soulful afro-dance track designed to resonate with anyone navigating life’s challenges. Produced by Lalo Ley (Mexico) and Rudi’Kastic (South Africa), the song masterfully blends emotive percussion, dark-hued atmospheres, and uplifting vocals, creating a confessional yet empowering listening experience.

With over 15 million streams and a strong following in London, Amsterdam, and Johannesburg, Lee Wilson continues to cement his reputation as one of the brightest voices in global house and afro-dance music. His smooth, captivating vocals and knack for memorable hooks draw comparisons to legends like Black Coffee and Louie Vega, while his modern production keeps him relevant for today’s dance floors and playlists.

Following his 2016 breakout alongside Kenny Dope on “Turn You Up” and collaborations with icons like Todd Terry, Reelsoul, and Junior Sanchez, Lee Wilson has been recognized for his hybrid sound of deep, soulful grooves and irresistible energy. “Trying Times” is a testament to his artistry — reflective, powerful, and designed to connect with fans while inspiring perseverance, proving once again why he’s called “House Music’s New Voice.”
