Premiere: Aimee Lay Releases Black Thoughts

If you don’t already have Aimee Lay on your radar, then turn up your speakers, press your ear real close, and get ready to get carried away by the intoxicating number below. Whilst spending her youth as the child of a Korean immigrant, Aimee sought solace in the musical world of classic girl groups and early psychedelia; that sound resonates in her songwriting here, though she has this delightful vocal turn during the chorus where she offers “goodbye, black thoughts.” It’s a subtle change in the voice, but perhaps one of the most striking moments of the tune. Her new album, The Other Side of You, will be out this Friday via Respectful Lust Records.
