It's also a fitting moment to celebrate the five single covers he created for tracks included on the album.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp>\"It’s always a joy to see the fruition of a year’s work, especially when collaboration feels so fruitful. Working with Sam and Jalapeño Records is and has been a real pleasure, with that shared love of music and excitement of hearing a new track to shape images to, it really is a fine match,\" says Lee.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp>Each release has been what Lee calls an 'Album Character,' personifying the song, its feel, instruments, and rhythms. Two of the recent releases include \u003Cem>What Would You Do?\u003C\u002Fem>, in the form of a 7\" single, which has a more urban feel. The imagery reflects that with a cityscape, car, and TVs. The other release features a unicorn, symbolising PRIDE. “I took a playful approach, which is very much in keeping with the tune’s origins. \u003Cem>Pride\u003C\u002Fem> was originally the theme tune Sam created for Joe Lycett’s show \u003Cem>Late Night Lycett\u003C\u002Fem>. It has now developed into a dance-floor anthem, with Joe’s blessing,” adds Lee.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp>Lee approached the album cover differently to set it apart from the single releases: \"So I decided to work on the letters of the title—\u003Cem>MODULATE\u003C\u002Fem>—in an almost onomatopoeic way, or at least the letters making up the meaning of what \u003Cem>Modulate\u003C\u002Fem> means in music terms—consoles, plug-ins, music boxes, synths, and keyboards… all talking and connected to each other.\"\u003C\u002Fp>"]
