Jessy Lanza has released a new track called ‘Lick In Heaven’. You can hear it above.
‘Lick In Heaven’ is the first new music to emerge from the Canadian artist since 2016 LP Oh No, save for a collaborative track with Junior Boys’ Jeremy Greenspan that appeared on the Hyperdub 15th anniversary compilation Konsolation last year. The new track was co-written with Greenspan, a frequent collaborator of Lanza’s.
"I started with the 101 bass line in my studio in NYC, sent it to Jeremy and he created the catchy refrain of the chorus and the Omnisphere, barbershop-type voice," Lanza says of ‘Lick In Heaven’. "This song is about being angry with people and not knowing what to do about it. I find that when I’m a certain combo of sad and angry I reach a point of provocation where I can’t stop myself from going nuclear."
The release of ‘Lick In Heaven’ comes ahead of a series of European tour dates which will kick off on February 29 and continue into next month. Find the list of dates here.
