On Your Own US レコード& CD

Review: Across a run of three outstanding EPs since 2017, Yazmin Lacey has slowly and steadily brought her cool and assured strain of neo soul into earshot, regularly popping up on festival line-ups and aligned with a resurgent UK jazz scene. Now we finally get to hear her stretch out on an album which takes its inspiration from the raw honesty of voice notes as a means of communication. Teaming up with the likes of Craigie Dodds, JD.REID, Melo-Zed and executive producer Dave Okumu, she's more than delivered on her promise with an outstanding, deep and nuanced album that hits true from the first beat to the last breath.

Review: Yazmin Lacey brings us a soulful release in Voice Notes, nailing the epitome of modern-day neo-soul with its vinyl crackles, boom-bap beats and vintage verbs. The Nottingham-born singer-songwriter sings songs of family, love, sleep, and late-bloomerism, across slow waltzes like 'Where Did You Go? and boxy, bedroom cuts like 'Eye To Eye'. Not the first of her greats, it follows up Black Moon, When The Sun Dips and 90 Degrees, topping off the singer's creative spell for that period.
