YAZMIN LACEY - Voice Notes (Vinyl)

Yazmin Lacey is a singer-songwriter who knows something about coming into her
own. She came to music late, she says -'It's never late, but late in the perspective of
that I'm doing it now,' - almost as if by fate. And throughout her time in the music
scene, the 33-year-old has used her music as an exercise in capturing those moments
and putting them into song, as if a snapshot of the intimate parts of her own life.
Debut album Voice Notes is yet another record of those moments. It follows on from
three stunning EP's; Black Moon (2017), When The Sun Dips 90 Degrees (2018) and
Morning Matters (2020), a trilogy of sorts, named in part by the settings in which they
were written. Voice Notes is similarly inspired by something that helped the album
spring to life. Made out of studio jam sessions alongside collaborators like Craigie
Dodds, JD.REID, Melo-Zed and executive producer Dave Okumu, the recording
process intentionally captured the beauty of imperfection.
Sonically she is uncategorisable, made up of many styles and influences. 'There's lots
of different flavours in there in terms of different ways I express myself,' she shares.
'The things that I listen to, music that I love -it's hard to place it. In some ways I would
call it soul because that's where it comes from, my own soul. But I always avoid that;
it's all perception. 'She has gained support from Evening Standard, The Guardian
and BBC Radio 6 Music, holds fans in the likes of Questlove and notably appeared on
COLORS in 2020 with song On Your Own.
