Following her departure from Wham!, Lee released her first solo single, "Selina Wow Wow", in 1983. Despite considerable airplay, the single failed to reach the top 40. In 1984, she then worked with The Style Council and appeared on their debut album Café Bleu (released as My Ever Changing Moods in North America). Lee can be heard on the tracks "Headstart for Happiness," "It Didn't Matter," "The Lodgers," "Walls Come Tumbling Down," and "Shout to the Top." Lee continued to record solo material during this time, but singles "Yippee Yi Yay!" and "Don't Do It Baby" failed to chart.
In 1985, after the release of the second Style Council album Our Favourite Shop (which reached no.1) and a stint working with the band Animal Nightlife, Lee released another solo single; the self-penned ballad "See the Day". The single became a UK hit and peaked at no.2 in December 1985, selling a quarter of a million copies in the UK alone, and earning Lee a silver disc. Twenty years later, the song was covered by Girls Aloud, their version peaking at no.9 on the UK Singles Chart in December 2005.
Lee's follow-up singles, a cover of Judie Tzuke's "Come Hell Or Waters High" and "Hold On" failed to make the UK Top 40. All tracks were featured on her 1986 album, Shrine.
Throughout the rest of the 1980s, Lee continued to work with The Style Council on their albums The Cost of Loving (1987) and Confessions of a Pop Group (1988). She also worked with the band on their 1989 recording Modernism: A New Decade, but this album was rejected by the band's label, Polydor, and did not see a release until almost ten years later, when it was included in the boxed set, The Complete Adventures of The Style Council.
Between 1989 and 1991, Lee teamed up with Robert Howard of The Blow Monkeys to form Slam Slam. They achieved a number of minor UK club hits including "Move (Dance All Night)" and "Free Your Feelings", the latter produced by Young Disciples. In 1993, Lee later collaborated with Gang Starr frontman Guru (rapper) née Keith Alam, on a single from his solo project Jazzmatazz called "No Time to Play" on which also featured Ronny Jordan. Later in the 1990s, Lee released two further solo albums; Things Will Be Sweeter (1994) and Smiles (1998).
In 2006, Lee had a small part as a pop star in the comedy film Rabbit Fever. In September 2007, Lee performed her hit "See The Day" on ITV1's Loose Women show. In September 2007, she also performed at a charity event in aid of domestic violence a cause close to her heart.
Lee also played the part of Preaching Nut-Nut in a 2008 short film, The Town that Boars Me. It tells the tale of a Pig Boy created by the lonely town butcher. The Pig Boy, now banished from the town, returns at nightfall to torment the local women and satisfy his insatiable fetish for high-heeled shoes. It also starred Kelly Osbourne, Sadie Frost, Lee's son Natt Weller, Zandra Rhodes and Sophie Ellis-Bextor. The film was released in London on 28 August 2008.
On 31 May 2009, Lee joined ex-Level 42 musicians, Mike Lindup and Phil Gould, to play a comeback gig with a collective called 'Favoured Nations'. The gig took place at Ginglik, Shepherd's Bush, London. On 11 October 2009, she played a gig at Dingwalls in Camden Town.

Silence, silence
너를 본 순간 silence
내 주윈 전부 너 말곤 fade out, yeah
Confused, confused
말을 걸긴 어려워 내가

Looking at your photos on the net, you're glowin'

The Dee C. Lee song "Wow Wow Mix" is a contemporary R&B pop song that talks about the confusing journey of falling in love with someone new. The song's lyrics describe how the singer is initially captivated by the silence that surrounds her when she sees this person for the first time. She sees only this person, and everything else around her fades away. However, as she gets to know them better, she begins to feel confused because they are not like what she expected. The verses describe how she is curious and mystified by this person, and how her emotions are intensified by their unique traits. The chorus repeats the phrase "Got me trippin' like wow wow" over and over, emphasizing how the singer is constantly being swayed by the person's presence and how she wants to know more about them.
The song is about connecting with someone on a deeper level and trying to understand them. It reveals the emotional journey of falling in love with someone who is different from what you expected, but ultimately still worth pursuing.

@skippybartalozzi
funny 2 days after you I looked this up also and you mentioned Leigh Bowery ?
@pabooliveira9021
One thing is sure and i noticed since my youth:
The same old horn arrangement in this song
is the same old horn arrangement of the first Wham! album ( Fantastic , 1982/1983 )
The horn arrangement musicians of this song i do believe are...
Ian Ritchie , Paul Cox , Martin Drover , Colin Graham , Raul D'Oliveria , Guy Baker , Roddy Lorimer ,
Bert Ezard , and J. Healey

@glamnesianouveaux2039
2:27 OMG!!!! It looks like Leigh Bowery!!!!!
@skippybartalozzi
wow, is that him .. I was on the floor in Heaven nite club (talking it eeeeasy!) and this larger than life person was dancing in front of me in a high German type military hat with a huge safety pin in his cheek and big cone like legs sort of robotic like and I was so in awe I had never seen someone like that, we spoke and said a few things for a couple of minutes he was so friendly and funny I thought he was amazing, a while later I seen in a magazine the same guy in that hat with that big safety pin, I knew it was him, tore it out & put it on my fridge in my place at Surry Hills when I lived there, he was someone I never forgot, brilliant !
