Yazmin Lacey - Voice Notes
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. A long-held tool of her music-making and way of sharing melodies with collaborators, it’s a method of communication deeply special to her. “For me, a voice note represents an immediate reaction to something,” she says. “[It’s] unfiltered and raw in the way that you can hear it.
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. Lacey opted to forego a polished sound to give way for rawness, the chance to “hear someone's pauses, their stops or the cracks in their voice” much like the album’s namesake.

Day One Thousand One Hundred and Twenty One
I tried to box her away
But she came back out to play
Feels like hide and seek
The game she plays with me
It's hard to hold it down
She's smiling while I'm drowning
That Priscilla girl, said try again
'Cause you know that you, know that you'll never to catch up with me

YAZMIN LACEY / Voice Notes
Yazmin Lacey(ヤズミン・レイシー)は、ロンドンを拠点とするネオソウル・シンガーです。今まで”Black Moon”、”When The Sun Dips 90 Degrees”、”Morning Matters”の3作のEPをリリースしていましたが、フルアルバムとしては本作が待望のデビュー盤です。これがもうどえらくかっこいいのです。Tr.1”Flylo Tweet”のJazzyな疾走感から、期待に違わぬ音が溢れ出る。以前にも”When The Sun Dips 90 Degrees”の時に書きましたが、彼女の歌は過剰ではない。歌いすぎない。柔らかく力の抜けた落ち着いた歌声がむしろクールに響いてきて、僕にはちょうど良い塩梅なのです。最先端のニュー・ソウルであり、コンテンポラリー・ジャズでもあるサウンド面での洗練と共に、非常にスタイリッシュな音を届けてくれました。これもすでに今年を代表する1枚ではないかと思うのですが。

Yazmin Lacey, Voice Notes
New music Wednesday
The Nottingham-based artist's presents a flawless combination of jazz, neo-soul, reggae and electronica, in her debut album that was produced by Dave Okumu. It has reflective monologues with lyrics drawn from voice memos, and reminders she kept on her phone. An optimist and feel-good production crammed with excellent narratives.
