{"product_id":"niecy-blues-exit-simulation-vinyl","title":"Niecy Blues - Exit Simulation","description":"\u003cp\u003eSouth Carolina singer and producer Niecy Blues describes her songwriting process like an undertow: \"\"I feel a strange pull, and let it carry me, following swirling leaves... whole days roll by, forgetting about the body.\"\" Their full-length debut, Exit Simulation, captures this sense of deep-rooted divination, cycling between simmering ballads, ghosted R\u0026amp;B, downtempo gospel, and looped vocal improvisations-often within the same track. The title is taken from a science fiction novel she read during the purgatory of the pandemic, alluding to a dimensional ideation of departure-\"\"the permission to imagine leaving.\"\" Recorded in her current home of Charleston, she characterizes the album's mood in terms both reflective and raw: an exploration of things suppressed, foundations beginning to crack, \"\"talking myself off a ledge.\"\" The music of Niecy Blues transposes reverie and reckoning into emotive devotionals of keys, guitar, bass, synth, and bewitched voice, steeped in sacred atmospheres gleaned from a youth spent in a religious Oklahoma household: \"\"My first experience with ambient music was church-slow songs of worship, with delay on the guitar... even if you don't believe, you feel something.\"\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51598393573671,"sku":"796441824014","price":33.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/0640\/5927\/files\/4258439-3050941.jpg?v=1783445237","url":"https:\/\/www.corkyscoffee.com\/products\/niecy-blues-exit-simulation-vinyl","provider":"Corkys Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
