You can view it here.

Harmonix is gearing up for its release of “Rock Band Blitz” at the end of August 2012.  The new addition to their catalogue is a new spin on rhythm games by featuring controller-based gameplay with no instrument peripherals required.  Rather than being required to select only one instrument, the game encourages players to switch between tracks to build up their scoring multiplier cap for each instrument.  On top of the new game design, many new and interesting powerups will become available throughout the game to affect various aspects.

Lee-Leet is the first Polish artist on Rock Band, whose beautiful love song “So High” has been licensed by the video game giant. While many songs on the Rock Band network have prominent focus on guitar or drums, Lee-Leet’s core strength lies in the vocals and keyboards.   Her sound has been related to artists such as Florence and the Machines, Bjork, Tori Amos, Kate Bush, Evanescence, Within Temptation, PJ Harvey, Bat for Lashes and Porcupine Tree.

You can see a sample video of the game on youtube, here. 

Lee-Leet and her band definitely deserve attention, especially among gamers looking for more female-fronted songs.  If you want to purchase the song on the game, you can find her in the Rock Band Network under Lee-Leet, “So High” or the Alternative genre.   The track will become available for download on the new Rock Band Blitz August 28, 2012 for Playstation.
