Acclaimed queer singer-songwriter Lucy Dacus is making waves once again with the exciting announcement of her upcoming album, a new single with an accompanying music video, and an extensive North American tour. Fans can mark their calendars, as Dacus, known for her enchanting voice and poignant lyrics, is set to embark on a creative journey that promises to captivate audiences across the US and Canada.
The latest single, titled "Ankles," was released alongside a visually stunning music video shot on the picturesque streets of Paris. In this artistic endeavor, Lucy Dacus takes on the role of a painting brought to life, while Havana Rose Liu, the talented actress known for her role in "Bottoms," features as a vigilant museum security guard. The collaboration between Dacus and Liu has already generated buzz and excitement among fans, with many anticipating the magic that unfolds when these two creative minds come together.
"You know that when Lucy Dacus and Havana Rose Liu team up, it's going to be a hit," remarked one enthusiastic fan on social media. This sentiment echoes across various platforms, where the anticipation for Dacus’s work is palpable. Another fan humorously added, "I always suspected Lucy Dacus was a literal work of art." Such comments underscore the admiration and affection that fans have for Dacus and her unique approach to music and storytelling.
In an interview with Dazed, Lucy Dacus opened up about the creative process behind her upcoming album, Forever is a Feeling. Following the monumental success of the boygenius album "The Record" in 2023, which garnered critical acclaim and multiple awards, Dacus admitted to feeling a mix of excitement and apprehension about releasing new solo work. However, she expressed confidence in the direction she is taking with her new project, stating that her goals for the album are "so different" from those she pursued with boygenius.
A New Era for Lucy Dacus
"Ankles," the lead single from the album, showcases a different side of Dacus’s musical style. Described as "much more sexy than I usually go for," the track is a "fun little bop" that explores themes of desire and longing for someone unattainable. The song has been praised for its catchy rhythm and relatable lyrics, making it an instant favorite among fans who resonate with its emotional depth and playful tone.
In the music video, Dacus dons a striking red Rodarte dress, a choice that adds to the visual appeal of the production. However, the singer revealed that the dress proved to be quite the challenge during the shoot. "That dress was actually a nuisance to wear, and I fainted on the second day of shooting," Dacus confessed. Despite the challenges, she remains pleased with the final product, noting that some scenes had to be adjusted due to the impracticality of the garment. "Back in the day, people had fainting couches for people who wore this stuff," she quipped, adding a touch of humor to the situation.
Embarking on a Journey
With the release of "Ankles" and the upcoming album, Dacus is also gearing up for a tour that will take her across North America. The tour promises to be a celebration of her music and a chance for fans to experience the new material live. The anticipation surrounding the tour is high, as Dacus is known for her compelling live performances that leave audiences spellbound.
As fans await the album’s release and the start of the tour, the excitement only continues to build. Lucy Dacus has a way of connecting deeply with her audience, and her willingness to experiment and evolve as an artist ensures that her work remains fresh and engaging. Her new album, Forever is a Feeling, is set to be another chapter in her already impressive career, offering listeners a chance to explore new soundscapes and themes.
