Lucia & The Best Boys have revealed their upcoming album, 'Picking Petals,' set for release on July 31 via Communion Records. The announcement arrives alongside the tender new single, 'You Look Like Somebody In Love,' marking a significant moment for the Glasgow-based artist.
This album serves as the highly anticipated follow-up to Lucia Fairfull's 2023 debut, 'Burning Castles.' It draws inspiration from her Scottish roots and the powerful stage presence of artists she admires, promising a collection that embraces authenticity and emotional depth.
The lead single, 'You Look Like Somebody In Love,' opens with a nostalgic, indie-rock guitar riff that sets the stage for Lucia's vibrant vocals. The lyrics explore themes of longing and affection, with lines like, "Would you question it if I kept you near with the smell of your perfume? I feel incomplete cause I'm tragically falling more in love with you." The track builds into a folky, uplifting chorus that captures the euphoria of new love.
Earlier this year, Lucia hinted at new music with the collaborative single 'Lonely Girl,' featuring Chvrches' Lauren Mayberry. That track is confirmed to appear on 'Picking Petals,' alongside contributions from The Last Dinner Party's Abigail Morris, adding to the album's collaborative spirit.
Fans can now pre-order the album, which is poised to showcase Lucia & The Best Boys' evolving sound and heartfelt storytelling.
