YAZMIN LACEY FEAT. TYSON WATER
'Water' by Yazmin Lacey featuring TYSON is an intimate exchange between two friends who have grown apart but still carry an unshakable bond. Told through conversational voicemails and tender verses, the song captures the bittersweet beauty of time...how life changes, but friendship doesn’t have to. The opening voicemail sets the tone perfectly: casual, affectionate, full of missed calls and missed moments. It immediately pulls you into the familiarity of a sisterhood where you can go months without speaking, yet still pick up exactly where you left off. The chorus, 'You and I know that life will change / If we act cold we freeze and break / However we grow the love remains / We’re flowing water taking different shapes' ties the whole message together. It’s a simple but profound metaphor: friendship, like water, doesn’t disappear; it transforms, adapts, and finds new forms through the ebbs and flows of adulthood. Yazmin and TYSON’s verses feel like two sides of the same phone call. Yazmin's smoky, nostalgic tone reflects a friend always on the move, chasing music and meaning, while TYSON’s warmth reveals a quieter life grounded in motherhood and reflection. Their contrasting realities make the song relatable to anyone trying to hold onto connection across shifting life paths. 'Water' is about real love- the kind that survives missed calls, new chapters, and miles in between. It’s deeply human, tenderly written, and effortlessly performed. -Rachel Fryer
