"As much as it doesn’t feel great to be anxious, it’s more about being okay with it and not living in fear of those feelings and recognizing that this is natural. This is not something to run away from."

"One thing I do find is that it’s usually in hindsight that I can tell what the song is actually about. Sometimes the intention to write about something heavy isn’t even there, or I’m not aware of it while I’m writing it."

"With songwriting, I try to let go and let it happen… Sometimes it’s bad until it’s not, or maybe it’s just going to continue to be bad! And then you just let it go. But either way, the best thing to do is just continue on, not cling so tightly to your ideas, and not give credence to the idea that this is the only good thing you’re going to do."

"When I was 10 I didn’t pick up on what Missy Elliott was talking about in Supa Dupa Fly but there was something that was so appealing about it — and a little bad! My friend and I would listen to R&B so that her parents couldn’t hear, you know? There’s definitely a sensuality there."

Crystallmess barrels through breakneck jungle, footwork bootlegs and fiendish edits at "godspeed" in her killer Fact mix.

If you ever need some creative inspiration, take a look at some videos of Timbaland in the studio in his prime, around the early to mid-2000s. You'll see Timbo smiling knowingly as he plays new material to some of the biggest rap & R&B stars of all time, all of whom appear to display a similar range of emotions – confusion, astonishment, befuddled laughter. 

This is testament to the Virginia producer's utterly genre shifting approach to the rhythm and texture of beat-making. No one sounded like him before, and the many who have imitated rarely reach his level. 

This In Focus is selected by Antonine Scali.

Hyperdub Takeover: Jessy Lanza

Girl Unit & Jam City - Night Slugs Mix Show - Rinse FM - 24 February 2013

Joining me for AIR's 30th episode is Canadian singer, songwriter, and producer @JessyLanza.

A classically trained musician, Jessy has been making music most of her life, while her critically acclaimed first album, Pull My Hair Back, released in 2013 on Hyperdub. Since then, she has been creating a steady collection of work, a mixture of pop electronica and R&B that, like 2020's All The Time, often delves into her personal journey. In this conversation, we look back on Jessy’s songwriting influences, her creative process, and her unique approach to storytelling. 

AIR is proudly produced in partnership with Bear Radio. Check out https://www.bearradio.org/ for more stories like this one.
