Steve Lacy came face to face with death. A drunk driver crashed into him at full speed atop the jagged cliffs connecting the valley and the beach outside Los Angeles.
And though Lacy escaped his demolished Tesla Model 3 unharmed, for a brief moment before the collision, he accepted his fate. “Being that close to death, I had the realization that you could be doing everything right, and then some fucking dumbass can crash into your car head-on,” he recalls. “And that could be it.” The Compton-born “Bad Habit” singer, now 25, was then in the early stages of writing his first major label album, the follow-up to his solo debut, “Apollo XXI.” Did the near-death experience change his perspective on the record he was making?
Lacy considers for a moment, pushing his braids behind his ears, then shakes his head no. “But it brought me closer to it.” In fact, the resulting album, “Gemini Rights,” centers on Lacy’s breakup with an ex-boyfriend.
It’s an urgent concoction of R&B, rock and pop songs filled with jazzy guitars and buttery hooks, at once reminiscent of Stevie Wonder and Pharrell.
