GEMINI RIGHTS
Steve Lacy’s long-awaited sophomore full-length album GEMINI RIGHTS dropped last week…and it did not disappoint. Steve first gained recognition as the guitarist and one of the producers for The Internet, but soon attracted his own fanbase as a solo act after his successful debut album, APOLLO XXI (which earned him his first Grammy nom as a solo artist!). Compared to his earlier work—a lot of which included his DIY songwriting and production recorded directly on his iPhone—this album is a product of wonderful collabs, giving it a robust and progressive sound. Inspired by Steve’s breakup with a boyfriend, the album muses on a mix of complicated and turbulent emotions—relief, longing, regret, love, resentment and more. For me, this is an album that gets better with each listen, so carve out the time to make it through a few times this weekend!
