Debby Friday is a Nigerian-Canadian singer-producer who found some success a couple of years ago with her debut album Good Luck. It won the Best Electronic Album 2023 Polaris Prize, the Canadian equivalent of a Grammy or Brit. That album had a moody rock-tronic feel.
The new one, created in her new London base with her guitarist, the Australian producer Darcy Baylis, is more straightforward EDM, but draws from a varied palette and retains her personality. It’s a likeable club-centric outing.
Initially, it appears she’s going to go 4/4-bangers-all-the-way but, as the album goes on, she becomes more lyrically reflective. She’s said the relentless touring after her debut wore her down, and the lyrics sometimes reflect this.
