Steve Lacy, best known as the iPhone-producing guitarist of Grammy-nominated band The Internet, dropped his debut album Friday (May 24), titled Apollo XXI. The LP is complete with 12 songs that intersect between funk and R&B.
On his Prince-inspired single “Playground,” Lacy disclosed to Zane Lowe on Beats 1 that he played every instrument on the song. “I think this was in my Prince phase, where I was all Prince, but I also have my Dirty Projectors phase in there,” he states.
The Fader touted the project saying “(Apollo XXI) is one of the most anticipated releases of the year.” The 20-year-old musician is also a revered producer and songwriter working with industry heavyweights such as Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Mac Miller, Solange, and others.
