Share this article

    (March 8, 2023) Vancouver, Canada native Sandra-Mae Lux first won us over last year with her adult soul gem “You, Me & Tomorrow,” a cut that is quintessential Lux: richly orchestrated and beautifully performed love music that recalls the 1980s output of Patti Austin and Anita Baker.

    The singer and multi-instrumentalist is now back with another single that captures the kind of classy, thoughtful soul that is her sweet spot. “The Last Time” bears a slow, sensual groove underneath the melancholy story of a woman who is making love to her lover for the last time, knowing that it is time for her to move on. It is a message of gratitude for the growth that came with the relationship, but equal parts wistfulness as she says the slow goodbye to love.

    Lux sounds fantastic and the cut has a timeless feel of a single that could have been a hit in virtually any year of the past half century. Check out “The Last Time” below.
