Yazmin Lacey on defining a legacy in Voice Notes (Off-Season Bonus)

The New Exchange with Ken Grand-Pierre

Welcome to the last off-season episode before the launch of season 6 (which will be announced very very soon!). Getting to finish off this series of talks with Nottingham-based singer-songwriter Yazmin Lacey feels like the perfect situation, and I’m proper excited about you falling in love with Yazmin’s music the way I have. Her debut album, Voice Notes, is the perfect blend of R&B, jazz, soul, and electronica; with Yazmin cooly singing about her insecurities and doubts. The Guardian’s 5-star review of the album describes it as “there’s so much to love and savor.” and hand-on-heart, they’re dead on about that. But what is it like to put yourself out there in such a direct fashion? Well, that’s what we explore on today’s podcast, along with the importance of building community and what the word “legacy” means to Yazmin. Also, it must be said, we also trade a fuckton of laughs (Yazmin Lacey is funny as fuck).
