In the landscape of the music industry, certain artists emerge not just for their talent but for their profound connection with their audiences. Among these artists stands Lindsey Lomis, a burgeoning star whose journey unfolds akin to a symphony of growth, collaboration, and introspection. Reflecting on her transformative experiences since our last conversation in March 2023, Lindsey's recent move from Nashville to Los Angeles marked a significant chapter in her journey. "It’s definitely had an impact on my creative process. I’ve unlocked a whole new world of things to write about," she shared.
Central to Lindsey's creative journey is her various collaborations with fellow musicians KOLE and Ariza. Together, they navigate the maze of musical exploration, their synergy yielding an alchemy of sound that transcends conventional genres. "There’s truly nothing like working with Kole and Ariza. We don’t give ourselves any boundaries which I feel is extremely important as an artist," Lindsey emphasized.
Reflecting on her encounters with established luminaries like Jacob Collier, Lindsey acknowledges the profound impact these interactions have had on her artistic trajectory. "Any sentence that comes out of his mouth is like a masterclass. It’s an honor to spend time and learn from such a legend like him," she said. Delving into the thematic content of her latest EP, "Handle With Care," Lindsey revealed the deeply personal inspiration behind the project. "The whole EP is based on personal experiences I’ve had over the past two years. I really believe that all we can ask for as humans is to be handled with care. I think we could all use a little more of that in this world." she shared.
Comparing her debut EP, "Chapter I," with her project releasing Friday, Lindsey observes a profound evolution in both her music and her outlook on life. "Everything is different except for the fact that I needed to write those songs then and I need to write these songs now. Songwriting has always been and will always be how I process my emotions," she reflected. Looking ahead to her upcoming tour with Jacob Collier's esteemed ensemble, Lindsey expressed immense excitement about the opportunity for growth as an artist. "I’m genuinely just excited to be surrounded by such incredible musicians all the time," she said.
In Lindsey's approach to music, she values maintaining a cohesive sound while embracing experimentation. Rooted in pop, R&B, and soul, her music reflects her vocal style and songwriting structure. She acknowledges the importance of having a recognizable sound, but also enjoys exploring new influences. Lindsey credits her collaborators for understanding her vision and encouraging her to push boundaries. This collaborative environment fosters her creativity and allows for innovative exploration. By striking a balance between familiarity and innovation, Lindsey ensures her music remains authentic and engaging. Ultimately, this approach leads to the creation of music that is both cohesive and dynamic, resonating deeply with her audience.
Reflecting on her aspirations for the future of her music career, Lindsey emphasized on the importance of creating timeless, unique music. "I hope to evolve and grow with every song I write," she remarked.
In the realm of musical luminaries, Lindsey's brilliance radiates, lighting the way with its vibrant glow. With each note she sings and each lyric she writes, Lindsey leaves a huge imprint on the fabric of the industry, a testament to the power of her work.

As she navigates these emotions, her music becomes a beacon of empathy and understanding, reminding us all of the importance of being handled with care in a world often fraught with challenges.
