Building on the surface of a lyrical line, Derek Lassiter drops a new single that blends memories and action with the painful reality needed to get through the day. It's a walk through the many terrains that make up resilience, self-love, and the passage of time. Seamlessly blending the realness of folk, the emotion of soul, and the dirt of country, his soundscape takes on an intimate yet universally relatable scope.
"Years & Years" pulls you in, immersed in its emotional undertow, led by Lassiter's rich, soulful voice. His delivery sifts like a genuine conversation with an old friend, gentle but firm, reverberating with lived experiences and learned wisdom. "Years & Years" is a powerful anthem that resonates with those who have been through the wringer of life but faced those trials, the scars, and overcome on the other end.
"Years & Years" is how its nature feels timeless and vividly, freshly of its age. Taken on their own, the folk-inspired melodies add nostalgia, the soulful undercurrents imbue each line with life, and the countryish hints bring a gentle warmth and sense of authenticity. This isn't the type of song that plays; its notes float around in the ether; it latches on, resonates, and grips you even well after the final chord sounds.
Lassiter draws out an artistry in this with his careful balance of vulnerability and strength. "Years & Years" isn't simply a retrospective; it's a battle cry for anyone still fighting through the present with elegance and courage. In a world that feels too often noisy and transient, Derek Lassiter offers a musical reminder that resilience and self-love are eternal companions through it all.
