Wrapping this long and awesome weekend with something sexy.

I knew I would fall in love with Jak Lizard's "Patty & Lucy" before listening to actual track. I mean anything inspired by "Amy Winehouse, Berhana, Chance the Rapper, Smino, Mac Ayres" is a winner in my book and all of these artists would be proud of this modern day homage to soul music. By the way besides the aforementioned names, I would add Stevie Wonder, which is pretty much the cherry on the top.

But lets focus on "Patty & Lucy" and stop throwing random cool artists names around. This is the first time I stumble upon Jak's vocals, but after more than 10 listens of the track I could safely declare - I'm in love. As I said - track's essence feels embedded in the roots of old school soul music, but Jak perfectly blends contemporary r&b and jazz elements into the mix, making the track an absolute fire.

The song is part of his July released EP 2 Songs About 3 People.

2 Songs About 3 People is a dedication to not just the aforementioned people, but to summer, love, and imagination. Both songs are incredibly personal explorations of the mindsets I was previously in and how those mental states connected to the people closest with me for a time. Whether it’s a babysitter as a child or a love triangle as a teenager, I look back at those times and am so grateful to have had all these moments and characters pass through my life so far… "I know it don’t get much better than that"
