Pieces by Yazmin Lacey

‘Pieces’ is the new single by East London-based soul singer Yazmin Lacey, released 7th September on Own Your Own Records under exclusive licence to Believe.

Her first release in two years, ‘Pieces’ was produced by Dave Okumu (Jessie Ware, Arlo Parks, Ibeyi) and written by Yazmin after a breakup and moving out of the house they both shared. Trying to maintain some normality, she went ahead with a scheduled piano lesson the next day with her keys player Sarah Tandy. After Sarah messed around with some chords, Yazmin had an overwhelming feeling to write ‘Pieces’ as an outlet to say everything that she couldn’t say face to face, Yazmin explains “Pieces is an open goodbye letter”. The keys were joined by horns recorded by James Mollison, Ritche Seivwright and Sheila Maurice-Gray. Recording the track became a sense of healing, “It’s turning heartbreak into hope, a thank you to a love that was”, says Yazmin.
