Pull My Hair Back

Jessy Lanzas debut album Pull My Hair Back, co-written and co-produced with Jeremy Greenspan from Junior Boys, is a 2013 flagship for what electronic pop could sound like, stripped of bloated, behaviourist impulses that treat listeners like lab rats. Its graceful and erotic without the gratuitous close ups, icey and sensual, sweet without rotting your teeth, emotional but with enough blue glow to pull your heart strings. Jessys voice flutters through the synths seductively, insistent without the over-singing and grating choruses that plague so much contemporary pop.
