Jessy Lanza Drops 'Love Hallucination' Friday; US Tour Kicks Off August

This Friday, Jessy Lanza returns with Love Hallucination (Hyperdub), her fourth album which features contributions from Jacques Greene, David Kennedy, Paul White, Jeremy Greenspan, and Marco 'Tensnake' Niermeski.

Singles “Don't Leave Me Now,” “Midnight Ontario,” and “Limbo” heralded the album, revealing a fresher, poppier side to Jessy’s sound. Eager fans can catch an early listen of the record on Bandcamp on July 25th at 2pm ET. Later this fall, Jessy embarks on a headlining tour of North America, her first headlining tour in many years.

Love Hallucination lets Jessy flex her skills in the studio and rebuilds her sound — in fact, the singer-producer calls the album her “trust fall.” The theme of trusting yourself in the moment drives the record forward, which includes singing more explicitly about sex or incorporating her saxophone skills. Using her intuition as a compass Jessy crafted Love Hallucination around the idea of being blinded by love but being self-assured enough to know your instinct matters, even if it takes time to make sense. 

Having just moved from the Bay Area to sunny LA, Jessy steps into a newfound confidence and personal authenticity. The album’s sleek and evolved sound is a breath of fresh air, facilitated by producers Jacques Greene, David Kennedy, Paul White, Jeremy Greenspan, and Marco 'Tensnake' Niermeski expanding her production toolbox. From club-ready songs to more downbeat and sultry works, Love Hallucination reminds us of falling into depths of love but being self-assured enough to trust one’s instincts. So far, its singles have elicited love from Pitchfork, Resident Advisor, Them, NPR, and Paper.

Hear the singles “Don't Leave Me Now,” “Midnight Ontario,” and “Limbo”

Jessy Lanza, Canadian singer, producer and DJ from Hamilton, Ontario, has trodden an inspiring path which led to 2013’s boldly minimalist debut Pull My Hair Back, released on revered UK label Hyperdub.

Gorgeously complex follow-ups Oh No – shortlisted for Canada’s prestigious Polaris Prize – and 2020’s All the Time crowned her as a singular talent in the left-of-pop sphere. 2021 sees the singer-producer’s contribution to the prestigious DJ Kicks Mix Series.

Throughout the years, Jessy has garnered praise from the likes of Pitchfork, Billboard, the FADER, Resident Advisor. Having just concluded a tour with Yaeji throughout the US, the concurrent release of Love Hallucination signals new heights for Jessy in an embrace of her ever evolving sound and authentic lyricism.
