Aussie favorite Ben Lee's seventh studio album is entitled The Rebirth of Venus, and as its title suggests, it is a paean of sorts to the goddess of love and beauty. The songs included on this album touch upon the similarities between masculine and feminine nature, as on the track "I'm a Woman Too." It may be that the subject matter is inspired by Lee's engagement, which was synchronous with the album's recording. Lee's stepdaughter guests on "pots and pans as well as backing vocals."
