Ending a year-long period away from the spotlight, but marked by intense personal and artistic growth, London-based alt-pop wonder Lucy Deakin has recently returned with a wondrous, uplifting, fierce gem, ‘Solar Eclipse’. Sparking what we suspect is going to be a bright new era for the talented creative, the record shares the dramatic and potent aural quality of Deakin’s earlier material, but with a heightened pop allure. Her frequent trips to Los Angeles might have played a part in that.
The listening experience is highly magnetic and playful; ‘Solar Eclipse’ feels urgent and incredibly fresh, all qualities that have always been present in Lucy’s artistic universe. A committed, community-driven voice in the British capital’s cultural landscape, Deakin is an original member of LOUD LDN, a boundary-pushing female and non-binary collective. She’s also been championed by an impressive list of tastemakers, the likes of BBC Radio 1 and NME, among others.
Delving deeper into ‘Solar Eclipse’, Lucy Deakin explains: “‘Solar Eclipse’ is an upbeat anthem about falling out of love in the most exciting way; when it feels freeing instead of heavy”.
