Lucky and D. Miles are a magical team. Masterpiece after masterpiece! Diamonds and Teal actually brought tears to my eyes. I love the freedom Lucky has in his expressions and I pray he continues to explore that because we the fans need that! 🍀🍀🍀🍀

[@des_elise]

Omg same diamonds and teal is so pretty 💖💖

[@lucky81970]

Album of the year. I'm calling it now. Been on repeat in my speakers since it released.

[@LadyMal1]

Same!!! It’s too good not to be album of the year

[@JamarConley]

I hope this gets him the recognition he deserves. His songs should have 100s of millions of views. He's in his own lane and the music is genuine and authentic.

[@sstill2008]

Thank you for being out of the box Lucky 🍀. I’ll be ready to dance in August!!

[@dalesworld1]

I would love to see Lenny Kravitz work with Lucky Daye. This album is fire 🔥🔥🔥

[@christopherwatson1065]

Exactly! They have a similar vibe, and it would be an interesting collaboration.

[@shaMUSiiC]

Go ahead and prepare for the Grammy's, babe! Y'all cleaning up off this one!

[@jalahtiche933]

This was his prince, Michael, Steve wonder coded album!

[@asham.5490]

I've only thus far listened to the album in its entirety once through, but I can definitely hear his exploration of self, going inward in it. OF COURSE going to revisit and live in it as this is one of those kind of albums to do so with. He's someone whose artistry I really appreciate, as tends to be the case for me of multi-hyphenates. I think there's such a distinctness to the creatives who are involved in the songwriting (and beyond) of their projects, so I appreciate the dialogue the songs are in revealing who they are/he is, the journey. Just the overall intimacy that's relayed with this project, I adore and why I feel comfortable and compelled to listen to an interview on it and his approach. Excellent job

[@kmeggs111]

I gotta see him on tour this year -it has to happen!

[@dakotac180]

Been listening to him for a few years now and he fills and feels the soul in all the right ways. Always a groove, keep going.

[@duanesmith9135]

I really love him

[@celine2768]

i would love to hear a track by track of each song, its so interesting hearing the breakdowns of meaning and production. Love the album though, we definitely get it

[@Key_1111]

He's iconic and we're witnessing greatness right now!

[@treenbeanie2260]

Amazing interview. I love his responses and I appreciate her questions. One of his best interviews.

[@aGwEENapple]

I really love that the world has a chance to get to know Lucky Daye. He has so much wisdom as a young man. And I'm glad he can share that in his music.

[@brownsuga810]

LUCKY CAN HONESTLY SING!!!!! His voice is so blessed and he puts his WHOLE SOUL into his songs!! One main point: NO SONG SOUNDS THE SAME!!!!!❤❤❤🎉💯 YOU GO BOYEEEEEEE!!!! LOVE "ALL" OF YOUR SONGS/ALBUMS!!!!!!!!🥰 (..D'mile WAS right!!! LOVE "Breaking the Bank"!!!! Lenny oughta be proud too!!😊)

[@BOJHENALEMODELE]

LETS GO! Lucky 🍀.This is going to be album of the year .💯💯💪🏽💪🏽

[@krysti12181981]

Breaking the bank is one of my favorite songs!!!!! So happy it’s on the album!

[@jonathansamuels5630]

Dope interview.

[@LeeLee-ux8gh]

I love his music

[@Purpleboo6875]

[@Memelauren30]

[@tineshacopeland5414]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@razmatazzsi2293]

💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@Brittni-b1q]

I aint ready just yet but im manifesting sigh😩🥺💚💚❤️🍀🍀😍🥰😘

[@KingHanma]

He's so talented that there is no limit for him. In some ways he reminds so much of Raphael Saadiq. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@anny109d]

i totally agree. def has the potential have a raphael/babyface sort of longevity between his songwriting and his own music.

[@TheTinebee]

Good music. : ) For me it feels a bit cold the album though, the warmth is in the songs, okayyy and then the metallic/ digital noise inbetween the tracks, the cold world, surroundings?

[@iconsonly99]

❤$MOTHER ❤ provides

[@jeremenogueras]

Lucky + Col3trane was the best recipe ever

[@FauxieDaoJia]

The spoken interlude sections almost ruin it for me. There's a lot of good music on the album.

[@raymondmartinez8719]

He need to take care of his Daughter …..His energy would be even greater

[@sdw0208]

If you actually cared about him or is family, you’d google and do your own research about what he’s said about his own life instead of being in the comments of his Interviews. Grow up

[@dalesworld1]

@@raymondmartinez8719 I have seen a video of his child's mother admitting he is in her life. Her complaint was that he should bring her to his concerts. I have also watched a recent interview with him where he says he calls his entire family daily. How's that for energy? From homeless to a musical genius. Live your life!

[@btalons4149]

He does. Him and his daughter have a blast together. He loves his daughter, ok!

[@JamarConley]

We need to learn how to stick to the music. No one's going to ever be who you think they are. Why should they though? You have no right to think people need to fit your image of them. A lot of people aren't who you think they are. I will listen to his music regardless, I like him as an artist. I don't know him as a father, and It doesn't affect the music.

[@raymondmartinez8719]

@@JamarConley That’s just your opinion….Character matters specially when you open yourself up to the public & asking for support……If he was a pedophile or murderer who made good music ….I wonder if you’ll feel different then.
