Lucky Daye sat down with Billboard News and R&B/hip-hop executive Gail Mitchell to talk about his latest album Algorithm. “My mindset was that I kind of wanted to talk to myself like God was talking to me,” the New Orleans singer said when asked what his approach was to this project. “Well, I was just using it to write letters to myself the whole album, trying to get to know myself.” Adding: “Who am I? What is my algorithm? What I don't like, what I like.”
Lucky – who has written for the likes of Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige and Victoria Monét – also gave his definition of R&B. “I talk about what I've been through and I'm vulnerable, it sounds like R&B in my head.” He went on to add, “I honestly think R&B is everything… it's the literal foundation of most music.”
Released on June 28, Algorithm is the third studio album from Lucky and his D'Mile and Bruno Mars-produced song “That's You” is currently at No. 2 on the Adult R&B Airplay Chart.
He's set to hit the road with The Algorithm tour with special guest Fana Hues. The first stop is in San Francisco on July 11th at The Warfield and the last stop is in LA on August 28th at the Greek Theatre. He plays Radio City Music Hall in New York on August 7th and will play his hometown of New Orleans on August 17th at The Filmore.
