| 3.5 great | Bedex | October 3rd 22 |
Usually with relatively small, early-career neo-soul artists like Y Lacey, what I find is that the often excellent vocals are undermined by pretty tepid run-of-the mill instrumentations, with the biggest fault being lackluster demarcation from the sea of like records out there. Here the issue is almost reverse. Lacey's voice and technique are good, but the performance feels a bit hushed, almost timid - which is quite understandable for a debut. I do wonder how this will evolve in her later EPs though. The key appeal of this EP is instrumental. I love how she plays with rhythms, chops phrases, and adds spice to what could otherwise well have been a good but forgettable EP. Her style is inventive and class. This is most prominent on 2, but shines through all the tracks bar the bookends (the intro being nice, and the outro unmemorable) and 4, which is the only track that it is quite standard and inevitably becomes the blandest - weird that it has the highest play count on spotify. 3's great instrumental is a bit hindered by repeated vocal lines, but overall this is an exciting one. 3.65
