ABOUT THE ALBUM: Lakin showcases her strength of songwriting & pure vocal warmth in her self-produced debut album, If Night Turns to Daylight. Her eclecticism shines through each song as she takes you on a stylistic journey: from pop/R&B tunes like "My Heart Still Beats The Same" to jazz influences of the early 40s in "Second Street" to bluegrass, folky sounds found in "I Choose You" to the beauty of simplicity in her ballad, "Why Are You So Beautiful?" Underlying her exploration of genre is a landscape of lyrical content. "If night turns to daylight" itself is a lyrical statement from her soundtrack-esque song, "Feel You"; a reminder that through all of the emotions of life, positive to negative, we are all in need of the bond that we find through meaningful relationship. About her music, Lakin shares, "One thing that I always hope someone takes away from my music is an authentic feeling of connection. We all go through different things in life & endure different hardships, but at the end of the day, we all experience love & pain & joy. I would like to think that we all feel a sense of hope when we find that someone else has gone through what we have. After all, connection is what we live for." ABOUT LAKIN: Originally from Riverside, California, up and coming artist Lakin is bringing a refreshing and new approach to her music. Growing up in an entertainment based household, it seemed destined for Lakin to follow her musical heritage. From a strong spiritual standpoint, Lakin succeeds in not only spreading the love of God, but in singing songs that are uplifting to the soul. In a time where the musical world is seemingly lacking originality, comes a new, young talent with a message other than the overly sexual and violent music that has become far too common in today's society. Writing, producing, and performing all the music you hear is just one more thing that is sure to take this new artist to the next level. Not wanting to be placed in any musical genre, Lakin draws from many musical artists and is blazing a trail for a new sound. Combining live instrumentation with a stunning vocal range & a tone sweeter than honey, Lakin's music at times resembles pop, neo-soul, jazz, folk, and even a tinge of alternative rock. At the center of its meaning, however, Lakin’s music truly represents a revolution of the heart—singing about themes that go beyond the superficial, and into the deeper human experience of reconciliation of the soul. It is here that Lakin’s distinctiveness shines; where her music will surely penetrate beyond not only the listener’s ear, but into the listener’s heart.
