Lucia & The Best Boys has announced details of her debut album Burning Castles
Lucia & The Best Boys announce debut album Burning Castles, and share new single "So Sweet I Could Die".
The new cut follows recent single "When You Dress Up" which was the band's first release since 2020's The State of Things EP.
""So Sweet I Could Die" is a gritty tale of a relationship that swings between the highest of highs and the lowest of lows,” Lucia Fairfull explains. “The kind of romance where one minute you feel like you are in the depths of hell, then swimming in a pool of undeniable love the next. We sometimes find ourselves in relationships where this feels like the norm, but it’s a fine line between intense passion and a bond that can completely drain you."
Burning Castles has been a culmination of many years spent cutting their teeth on Glasgow's underground punk scene, before bursting into the mainstream and being backed by Elton John. “This album has been bubbling under the surface for a long time,” says Fairfull. “It’s a build up of everything that I’ve experienced as a woman over the past seven years… Some of which I’ve written about in the past, but now I’m older, have a completely different, clearer understanding of and want to reword or rephrase. It’s also about the confidence that I’ve found over that time.”
