As we explore ‘Vitamins’, we can’t help but feel rather emotional. Penned by Lucy Frost’s relatable songwriting, the album depicts a mix of tumultuous early adulthood struggles and a troubled, toxic relationship. Listeners are taken through a cathartic roller coaster full of highs and lows, and eventually confronted with stinging truths about mental health and self-discovery. In that sense, ‘Vitamins’ is quite a mature album, one that showcases all the wise awareness that lies behind Lucy Frost’s heightened artistry.
What’s even more striking is the sonic minimalism that guides the album forward. With an acoustic guitar at its centre, ‘Vitamins’ embraces indie and alt-pop with unmatched charisma, setting a somewhat playful counterpoint to the record’s meaningful lyricism. At its core, we find Frost’s malleable and hard-hitting vocals.
Delving deeper into the creative ethos that propels the album, Frost explains: “For me, these songs have been outlets to cry to, to unleash the rage inside, or to simply laugh, and I hope this collection can be the same for others. Each song is a pill that you can take as a means to escape or as a way to release what’s building up inside.” We appreciate the honesty and authenticity championed by the American songstress. Listening to ‘Vitamins’ feels like entering a confessional room, having an intimate conversation with Lucy Frost herself.
