From Negative Gemini’s recent EP, Bad Baby

Negative Gemini (aka Lindsey French) is a master of disguise. The Brooklyn vocalist and producer has donned many forms in her past releases, including indie rock balladeer and fist-pumping tech house producer. Her experimentation between genres reaches a whole new level on “Infin Path,” the opening track from her new EP, Bad Baby. Instead of settling on one style of music, French decides that within a single song, she can try out something radically new at every turn: the song becomes an ambient piece, a footwork track, a pop song, and more, refusing to settle down into something predictable. Blazing kickdrums collide with warm echos and hip-hop chants; it’s all over the place, but French makes it work, finding a power in the restlessness. All the while, her delicate voice glides above, a calming presence over the surreal backdrop. Ignoring the tropes of many musical styles, reshaping how they can sound together, French finds beauty in total confusion.
