Apollo XXI

Steve Lacy

Sun-drenched guitar riffs and hazy R&B grooves recorded in a bedroom. A vulnerable, DIY debut that redefines modern soul through a lo-fi lens.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sprawling nine-minute odyssey of 'Like Me' where the groove shifts into an intimate dialogue about identity.
The Prince-indebted funk explosion of 'Playground' that injects a sudden burst of kinetic energy.
The way 'N Side' uses a minimalist, ticking beat to frame a whispered, hyper-intimate vocal performance.
