Though, in Gemini Rights, Lacy does not censor himself on “Cody Freestyle” when he sings, “ You had a heavy dick, a cannon /I could use your deep throat.”Ĭertainly, it hasn’t been a smooth road for bisexual male artists in the industry to write freely about sex. I kiss a boy?” In the article, Lacy talks about not feeling as “flamboyant” as the examples of men who were attracted to men in the media. Being born in Compton, Lacy said in an interview with The Guardian, “As a kid, I just thought it would be a fantasy. With soulful undertones, Lacy pleads with the missed chance he had with someone he thought was out of his league singing, “Thought you were too good for me, my dear/ Never gave me time of day, my dear.”Įach song is a modge podge of genres, though certainly influenced by moguls like Prince and Stevie Wonder who fans have not shied away from comparing him to. “Bad Habit,” my personal favorite taste of the project, echoes the mantra: “I wish I knew you wanted me.” For all the no-he’s-definitely-not-into-me types out there, this is the record for you. Encased in the turbulent subject matter, Lacy dabbles in conversations with exes, sleeping with other people and nods to his sexuality. Though with this said, Lacy does mention other lovers. In “ Sunshine,” with singer Foushée’s smooth vocals, Lacy reminds us of this lingering regret that heartbreaks often entail and the question that remains: if you really love someone, does that feeling ever go away? Responding to Foushée’s dreamy verse, Lacy sings, “Honestly, I wouldn’t mind, I would do it one more time/ I would let you cut the line just so I could be /Right where you are.” “Static” suggests a breath of fresh perspective when he sings, “Hope you find peace for yourself/ New boyfriend ain’t gon’ fill the void,” and then, “If you had to stunt your shining for your lover dump that fucker.” It’s the perspective your friends have when you’re a few shots deep, phone in hand, asking, should I call him? Nothing suggests “Gemini” more than breaking up with your boyfriend, regretting it, and then writing a whole album about it. In itself, the album was inspired by a failed relationship that Lacy himself ended.
