Love Hallucination

Released

An album of dance music with a clear, cohesive and well-defined aesthetic from Canadian artist Jessy Lanza, Love Hallucination is her fourth full-length outing. It’s house, disco, synth-pop and electronica, and her production sound is burnished, streamlined, and clean with a mid-80s US soul sheen. It’s fairly minimalist — the kind of funky electronic minimalism perfected on Janet Jackson’s Control — and Lanza’s songs are often comprised of not much more than some crisp beats, hefty bass, and a smattering of digital keys and wispy synth washes providing melancholy chord changes. It’s an approach that leaves lots of room for her enticingly clear, pure lead vocals, her soaring falsetto and equally distinctive backing vocals to drop their sweetly delivered hooks. Her fourth album is a refinement of her very particular sound: Love Hallucination sounds like Jessy Lanza distilled.
