Pieces

A melancholic masterpiece of a single, Yazmin Lacey’s latest track Pieces relies upon the soulstress’ mastery of emotive lyricism to reach into the deepest depths of your soul and invoke profound emotional contemplation.

A self-described “open goodbye letter” to her previous flame, the track functions almost as a form of therapeutic retrospection, exploring the profound transition from heartbreak to hope that one undergoes during the breakdown of a relationship. Opening with a simple combination of smooth drums, sparse piano and Lacey’s sultry vocals, the song opens up musically in tandem with the artist’s emotional journey. With a voice that is reminiscent of the great Jazz songstresses, the track’s melody adopts this jazz-inspired style by its end – with sax and piano solos that will transport the listener to the dark corners of a smoky jazz bar.  

This intimate track proves that Yazmin Lacey is a soulful master of her craft, with a discography that just begs to be explored and adored.
