Pokey LaFargeʼs 7th studio solo album, In the Blossom of Their Shade, showcases
the positivity of coming out of the darkness and into the light. When the 2020 global
pandemic hit, LaFargeʼs rigorous work ethic powered him through the potentially
challenging creative period. As days became a couple months, songs blossomed from embryonic ideas into full-formed ones and he was ready to move on, which typifi ed his mindset as a working artist. With this record LaFarge captures the thematic notion of being the perfect summer afternoon soundtrack...the type of music you want to listen to while having a cocktail with your significant other. It makes sense musically as well — LaFarge intentionally crafted songs that created space and have melodies that can glide throughout a composition thatʼs a far cry from the swing and blues-infused songs of his earlier work. LaFarge is an artist who refuses to rest on his laurels and compromise. Heʼs always motivated and ready to create. With In the Blossom of Their Shade the album is one of LaFargeʼs strongest and most mature efforts to date.
