GRAMMY Nominated Album producer and multi-faceted icon Lachi taps into the person behind the edge and confidence she constantly delivers in her music with Cornrows Reimagined, a collection which stripes her powerful, high-energy style to its emotional bones.
The EP interwoven with her highly acclaimed audiobook I Identify as Blind, brings to life an intimate and immersive experience unmasking the intricacies of Lachi’s journey with empowerment and vulnerability in equal parts,
I Identify as Blind, which became a bestseller among audiobooks about disability (from Audible to LibroFM), is a candid exploration of Lachi’s journey toward unmasking—her disabilities, neurodivergences, and the many layers of difference she’s learned to own rather than conceal–and societies need to drop the stigma and follow suit. Read by Lachi herself, the audiobook already feels personal – and with the infusion of Cornrows Reimagined, she allows her music to expand upon her story.
Delivering quieter, closer, more vulnerable versions of her hard-hitting dance tracks, the confidence laden within her original music is reimagined with an introspective, gentle touch. Juxtaposed against the powerful reclamation of the audiobook, the EP hones into a bare, deeply human, acoustic world that’s unflinching in its honesty but unapologetically open as well.
From celebrating Lachi’s musical precision and her roots in a cappella with the light piano and intricate vocals of “Cornrows Reimagined,” to flipping her dance hit “Trust” into piano-forward, rhythmically loose, and vocally playful jazzy piece with “Trust Reimagined,” the EP is fluid, experimental and intimate as it leads us towards a pristine, intentional finish.
With the EP arriving at a pivotal moment in Lachi’s creative arc, following her work as co-producer on Chris Redding’s GRAMMY-nominated album The Colors in My Mind a project centered on neurodivergence, this powerhouse talent continues to lead her artistry with accessibility underscored by quality, soul, and wit.
I Identify as Blind is available now through all major online retailers and select local bookstores. Cornrows Reimagined is streaming on all major music platforms.
