Yazmin Lacey - behind the session [BALCONY]

If Yazmin Lacey wasn't an artist she'd want to own a pub where she could play whatever she wanted on the speakers and give her friends free drinks. Where do we sign up to be her new best friend? All that and more in our sit-down interview with young vocalist Yazmin Lacey above.

____________________
Yazmin Lacey didn’t set out to be a singer, however a chance encounter led to her earning a place on Future Bubblers - Gilles Peterson’s development program devoted to discovering and nurturing UK talent. Enthused by the experience, Lacey recorded some songs in her living room and in 2017 self-released debut EP, Black Moon. The more polished When The Sun Dips 90 Degrees EP followed in 2018 and includes standout single Something My Heart Trusts, which has clocked up over 4.4 million plays on Spotify. And her recently released Morning Matters EP in March 2020. The EP pairs candid songwriting with a laid-back, graceful delivery and is, as Lacey explains; “dedicated to anyone that’s ever struggled with getting up and out in the morning, for everyone doing work on themselves and trying to live better.” Contributors include Femi Koleoso and Ife Ogunjobi of Ezra Collective, plus jazz protege Moses Boyd.

What a lovely woman. Been listening to her for quite some time now. I hope she comes to the States one day. Or I’ll just pack up and move to the UK. Whichever comes first! 😊
