Jessy Lanza’s take on pop music has found its own idiosyncratic niche
This “private, emotional, cathartic world” was even more pronounced in the writing and recording of All The Time, as Lanza found that adapting to life in NYC was more of a struggle than anticipated. “Leaving Hamilton, where I grew up and where I’ve lived my whole life, I really underestimated the homesickness and the isolation of being in a new city,” she admits. “I didn’t deal with it very well.” This all came to the surface when she would hole up in her studio: “I didn’t really have much else to do with those feelings other than work on music. It felt like the album was all I had to get a hold of myself at that time.”
I got to speak to Canadian art-pop purveyor Jessy Lanza about her excellent new album All The Time. You can read that on The Line Of Best Fit.
