Jessy Lanza (ca)

The Canadian singer and musician Jessy Lanza is known for her futuristic, airy sound that oscillates between minimalist synth pop and playful avant-garde R'n'B. She is a great musician and singer. Her sugar-sweet voice, partly abstracted with autotune and much delay, sounds so silky that the Guardian has praised her as "the latest and possibly greatest of the new ethereal soul girls". Their collaboration with footwork producers like DJ Spinn and their releases on Hyperdub underline the cross-genre quality of their numbers.
