BackgroundAaron was increasingly disillusioned with big label mainstream rock music, feeling that the "Metal Queen" image of her earlier albums was now part of her past and that it was time to move in a new direction.[2] In early 1994 she met with Don Short and Don Binns of the Canadian band Sons of Freedom, who participated in the recording of Aaron's 1994 album Emotional Rain.[3] Following that album, they were joined by Sons of Freedom's Don Harrison on guitar to record the new songs "Strange Alice" and "Concrete & Ice", which were added as bonus tracks to the European edition of Emotional Rain. ReleaseIn November 1995 the four musicians began recording a new album under the band name 2preciious. As part of the rejuvenation process, the name Lee Aaron was not seen on the original release of the album and Aaron's contributions were under her real name, Karen Greening.[4] The album was released in 1996, and the band toured to support the album.[5] Critical response to the album was mixed: The Globe and Mail's Chris Dafoe dismissed it as crass and calculated, and labelled the single "Crawl" as a blatant copy of Alanis Morissette's "You Oughta Know";[6] while Peter Howell of the Toronto Star said that the album was uneven but showed potential, comparing it more to Garbage.[7] The band did not record another album. Aaron subsequently moved from rock to jazz singing,[8] while The Three Dons moved into production and re-emerged as musicians with the band Jakalope in 2004.[9] Discography2preciious (1996){{Infobox album| name = 2preciious | type = studio | artist = Lee Aaron and 2preciious | cover = 2preciious cover - Canada.jpg | alt = | released = {{Start date|1996}} | recorded = Recorded and mixed Nov/Dec 1995 | venue = | studio = Inner Ear Studios, Gibsons, B.C | genre = Alternative rock | length = | label = Spastic Plastic Corp Canada No Bull Records Europe | producer = Glen Reely | prev_title = Emotional Rain | prev_year = 1994 | next_title = Slick Chick | next_year = 2000 | misc = {{Extra album cover | header = European release | type = studio | cover = 2preciious - cover - Europe.jpg | border = | alt = | caption = }} }} Track listing
