Hamilton-bornHyperdub affiliate Jessy Lanza treats us to her slick, housed-up R&B.
Canadian vocalist and producer Jessy Lanza has been uplifting crowds with her energised, jazzed up electro compositions since her 2013 debut, ‘Pull My Hair Back’. Co-produced with Junior Boy’s Jeremy Greenspan, the album brought a refreshing, jazz-inspired form to electronic pop. Signed to Kode9’s Hyperdub label, Jessy Lanza has since become prominent for her Chicago footwork-paced ballads and unique vocal distortions. On last year’s follow-up ‘Oh No’, she confidently modernises her influences, adding touches of Japanese 80’s synth artists Yellow Magic Orchestra, whilst maintaining her characteristically slick, housed-up R&B.
