Jessy Lanza<\/a> has announced a new EP. Slapped by My Life<\/a> is out this Friday, September 12, via Hyperdub<\/a>. The project features two versions of the title track, which Lanza co-produced with Pearson Sound<\/a>\u2019s David Kennedy. Below, watch a video for \u201cSlapped by My Life\u201d directed by and starring Lanza\u2019s husband, Winston Case.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wrote \u2018Slapped by My Life\u2019 while my husband Winston was going through chemotherapy,\u201d Lanza shared in a press statement. \u201cThe treatment cycle was relentless and he spent most of the time bedridden, so while he slept I wrote this song for him. It\u2019s been challenging to find the space to be creative since cancer came into our lives, but I knew this song would make Winston smile and that was motivation enough. Collaborating with Pearson Sound made this track exciting too because listening to his music has always been a serotonin rush. When I wrote \u2018Slapped by My Life\u2019 I was desperate to feel something other than sadness, to escape my mind and live inside the music, even for a few minutes. I dedicate this song to my husband Winston and to all the caregivers. You are the ones who keep the world turning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Case added: \u201cMy journey through cancer has been marked with insensitivity and sorrow so harrowing it borders on comedy. I’d often find myself between laughter and despair, and I wanted the video for Jessy\u2019s song to reflect that feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lanza\u2019s last solo release was 2023\u2019s Love Hallucination<\/a>. Physical editions of Slapped by My Life will include reworks of two songs from the album: \u201cLimbo\u201d and \u201cMidnight Ontario.\u201d<\/p>\n
