Album Review: DJ-Kicks by Jessy Lanza
Very Good, Based on 2 Critics
Based on rating 7.1/10
In Jessy Lanza's world, every dancefloor is a dancefloor for one, Janet Jackson's "Empty" is the highest-selling pop song of all time, and the clock always reads 2 a.m.--the time of night that the quiet, heady dance music Lanza makes is best consumed. With each successive solo album, the contours of the Lanzaverse become more refined and the topography becomes a little more precise. After three albums--including, most recently, last year's All the Time--Lanza's sound feels unique and immediately identifiable.
Based on rating 7/10
Driven by rave reviews after a recent success of her last album All The Time, released in July 2020 in the middle of the pandemic, the Electronic/R&B Cannadian singer and producer will find the freedom to perform on stage during the tour as well as an opening act for Caribou. Now, on the eve of her future performances, Jessy Lanza shares an additional project that will allow her to deliver content for her fans. Over a format of more than an hour, Jessy Lanza's DJ Kicks pays tribute to dozens of performers/DJs from the underground club scene around the world from different universes and eras, including Loraine James, Taraval, DJ Swisha or Lolina for the most famous.
