‘Cause if I never leave

I’ll ruin yesterday

[surebabyholdback]

And that’s easy for me

And it’s better for the soul

And it’s better for you

And it’s better for all

I will have to pull my heart away

'Cause if I never leave I'll ruin yesterday

Jayda G — Guy (Ninja Tune)

Coming off the warm reception to her eco-conscious debut full-length Significant Changes, Jayda Guy’s star was ascending in electronic circles for her crate-digging sets and productions that blended classic Chicago house, disco, boogie and funk. Her time in Berlin was finished; she had wrapped up co-running the Freakout Cult imprint with DJ Fett Burger and moved west to London. She got married. And despite the pandemic’s onset, she bucked the trend for most anxious dance music producers and found a hit in 2020 with everyone at home: “Both of Us” was as memorable a single as you’ll find from the summer that wasn’t. A DJ-Kicks entry in 2021 as things started to open back up again wasn’t unexpected, but the same can’t be said for her second album. Guy is as much a therapy session as it is an album, as much for her as it is for listeners.

“I had the idea for the album for a long time,” she recently told Billboard, but “didn’t have the time, energy and space to tackle what that would look like emotionally.” That idea? Grappling with the death of her father, who passed away when she was 10. With nowhere to go and no one to play to during the pandemic, Jayda trawled through more than 11 hours of video William Guy recorded about his life with her older sister after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. What a life to draw from, too: From a childhood growing up in Kansas to enlisting in Vietnam to Washington, D.C., riots to roofing in Canada to social work, William had a rich personal history to draw from and what seemed to be a considered perspective on his life as a whole as his days drew to an end.

For tackling such a personal topic, then, it made sense that Jayda G would rely on herself more than ever to uncover how that emotional soundscape would take shape. Though Jack Peñate (Adele, David Byrne, Adele) co-produces and Lisa-Kaindé Diaz (Ibeyi) and Ed Thomas (Nia Archives, Stormzy, Jorja Smith) feature, this is wholly Jayda’s album. Reversing her usual method of starting with the music and leaving lyrics last, the songs of Guy started with the words — and, for the first time (aside from “Both of Us”), her own voice. From focusing on what’s said to vocal coaching in an effort to carry tunes better, Guy is a very different listen to what precedes it.

Following a scene-setting intro from one of her dad’s tapes, “Blue Lights” jumps into it to give you an idea of what you’re in for. With a light bongo touch, Jayda’s vocals practically bounce over a sleek house track that portrays her dad’s position as a nighttime radio DJ amid the D.C. riots of 1968. There’s the marital discord of “Heads or Tails” and “Lonely Back in O” set to backclaps and carefully deployed, lush-yet-spartan synths. The airy highlight “Scars” will resonate with anyone who’s ever been discriminated against by authorities, particularly the police. “Your Thoughts” is quite simply New Wave, an ‘80s synth-pop throwback with the slightest Caribbean tinge to it in the dubby echo of the synthesizers. The breezy yacht rock guitar of “Meant to Be” fits the song’s topic of Jayda’s dad meeting her mom in Canada, a buoyant optimism pervading. “When She Dance” late in the album also incorporates the perspective of Jayda’s grandmother and the power of Black womanhood.

The real revelation here, however, is “Circle Back Around.” You could write tomes on this track, which again addresses authority and discrimination, but it’s perhaps the most cohesive song Jayda G has ever written. The single version with the video shown above is slightly different from the album version and, though less suited to the dancefloor, is the better of the two: Audio snippets otherwise scattered across the album are condensed for the video into one of the finest singles of 2023 as her dad describes running from the cops as a kid in Kansas before the galloping beat appears to complement the theme. Jayda’s vocals are at their most cathartically ethereal here, and the way the beat drops back in for the final stretch is unmatched; only the hardest of hearts could give it a shrug.

If Significant Changes was about caring for our planet ecologically, Guy is about caring for our planet interpersonally. The emotional excavation Jayda G has done with her sophomore album is admirable to witness and a joy to hear, its brighter outlook on what this life has left for us a direct line from the hard-earned calm of William Guy to anyone who hears him. Too often we are tempted by the dark, easily seduced by the wretched evils and seemingly unending fears this world has to offer; Guy offers a rebuke, says wait a minute, take a deep breath and look around at what wonders are left. There’s so much still to cherish — and so many still to love.

Django Django (feat. Jack Peñate) - No Time - Neue Single Die Londoner Art-Rock-Band Django Django lässt sich einfach nicht auf ein Genre festlegen. Das beweisen nicht nur die vergangenen vier Alben, sondern besonders ihr neuster Song “No Time” im Feature mit Jack Peñate. Mit House-Beat, Bläsern und dem Soul-Gesang vom Gast ist auch dieser weit entfernt von ihrem typischen elektronischen Psychedelic-Rock.
