A psychedelic, soulful success from Kiki Diago, “Old Ways” captures the artist’s coming-of-age experience throughout the ’90s in Southern California. Hazy guitar strums and organ-laden textures form a suave introduction. Diago’s tender vocals reflect a state of loneliness and regression — “old ways, I’m back on my shit again,” — amidst the sweltering mix. The dreamy guitar swirls and soulful vocal charisma lead throughout this atmospheric, soulful success from Kiki Diago.
