LSA - Official Lyric Video

East London’s J Appiah has shared new single ‘LSA’, out now via VERO Music x 19FIFTY7. ‘LSA’ - which stands for Longest and Saddest Affair - is the follow-up to previous offering ‘ONE THIRTY AM.’ and paves the way for the Hackney-based artist’s forthcoming EP ‘That’s the Thing About Time’ (Part One) on DATE. The four-track project is the result of a period of self-reflection for J Appiah, one that allowed him to fully embrace his art and move beyond the constraints of others. Using the concept of time to demonstrate life’s journey, ‘That’s the Thing About Time’ will encourage us all as human beings to be present and conscious of the days we have. To do the things we want to do more of and to remember the important things in life. New single ‘LSA’ is an inspired take on the circle of life, from birth to death and beyond. It was written whilst the mother of a close friend of J’s was battling cancer (as was a lot of the EP) which found him contemplating life’s bittersweet journey. Leaning into psychedelia to demonstrate the trip we all take on planet earth - and providing a playful nod to the hallucinogenic drug LSD - ‘LSA’ offers melancholic beauty with its meditative sound and soft, confessional lyrics. The track was made with producer Barnabas Poffley who provided its other-worldly synth sample, and draws upon J Appiah’s varied influences across electronic, indie, soul and beyond. Sharing his inspiration behind the single, J Appiah explains: “I was thinking about life as this journey that begins with innocence and newness like a flower growing, and then it becomes progressively intense. At points it feels all about survival and then consolidation. I named it ‘LSA’ which stands for ‘Longest and Saddest Affair’ because it shows that life can sometimes be this sad stage show with moments that are beautiful but also ones that are equally very sad. Keeping your eyes on the prize is remembering that this life, at least in this form, is the only one you get. So we should keep our eyes on the prize.” J Appiah’s latest run of music is his first since 2021 which saw him release a trio of singles including ‘Breathe’, ‘Where's Your Heart Gone’ and ‘Bitter X Sweet’. In the years that followed he toured the world as a member of Damon Albarn’s band Gorillaz, performing in 24 countries throughout Europe, Australia, and North America, including festivals that included Coachella. The ‘That’s the Thing About Time’ EP came to fruition following J Appiah’s time on the road, with the project completed during an extended period spent in Japan. It’s a country that J has a deep affinity to, explaining: “It has always been a place of peace and creative inspiration for me. It was the most logical place to complete the project and give it that special quality that sets it apart from everything else.”
