Bully announces new album with lead single "Days Move Slow"
Bully, the project of Alicia Bognanno, has announced her forthcoming new album Lucky For You, and has delivered the lead single "Days Move Slow" to accompany the news.
"Days Move Slow" is Bully's first new release since recruiting Soccer Mommy to feature on last month's "Lose You" single, and is accompanied by a video directed by Alex Ross Perry.
Bognanno says, "As someone who has spent the majority of my life feeling agonisingly misunderstood, there is no greater gift than experiencing true unconditional love and acceptance. I waited my whole life for the bond and irreplaceable companionship I had with Mezzi. She was my best friend and my only constant through some of the most pivotal moments and phases of my life. I was a stranger to the level of love I now know exists because of Mezzi. Love you forever; I’m lucky for you."
Both "Days Move Slow" and "Lose You" will appear on Bully's upcoming album Lucky For You, which will follow 2020's SUGAREGG, and is produced by J.T. Daly.
Speaking about working with J.T. Daly, Bognanno explains, "Authenticity is always on my mind, without even knowing it. If I’m doing something that doesn’t feel natural or right, I’m quick to shut it down. So it was great to work with J.T. because I could tell he was a genuine fan who wanted to emphasise what he thinks is good about my writing instead of changing it. I could tell how much he cared about the project, and it meant a lot to me.” The album came together over the course of seven months, the longest gestation process for a Bully record to date: “I was freaking out about it at first because taking my time was so new for me. But a few months in, I realised how crucial that time ended up being. I got songs out of it that I wouldn’t have had otherwise."
