LUCY Give Us One Last Taste Of Summer With FROM.

It’s been a minute since LUCY’s last mini-album, almost a year to the day. But LUCY has been busy releasing incredible OSTs and mindblowing singles, and of course, going on their first world tour. While we love all these things, there’s always something extra special about the atmosphere LUCY creates with their mini-albums. And the newest one, FROM., encapsulates everything we love about LUCY’s music: from comfort songs to upbeat crazy songs, and instrumentals to get obsessed over. FROM., along with its title track ‘Villain,’ is another example of why everyone should be listening to LUCY. It’ll simply make your life better.

‘Villain’

‘Villain’ is the perfect mixture of soft, hopeful music and rock music, something that LUCY has mastered like no one else. Once again, the instrumental is mindblowing and to die for. With its stripped-back beginning, it builds up in a song that is genuinely unique to LUCY: the complexity and warmth in the instrumental, the mixture of soft and impactful vocals, and the unique yet relatable beautiful lyrics. While ‘Villain’ has LUCY’s signature sound, it also has one of their most unique and special bridges, which makes the song hit even more. ‘Villain’ is a comfort song in the same way that it is a heartbreaking song about self-doubt. The song and the music video are about how life can bring you down, but it’s eventually about accepting yourself the way you are and trusting yourself.

‘Villain’ has a beautiful message and is a masterful song in the same breath. It’s in brand with LUCY’s genius.

FROM.

LUCY built their mini-album around ‘Villain’ in the best way. FROM. continues to be extremely high in energy. While ‘Villain’ has a mixture of softness and rock, ‘Complex’ and ‘Doggaebi Dance’ are straight-up energy boosters. ‘Complex’ starts strong with a fun and impactful bass line, soon enough mixed with the violin, making it an instant highlight. The instrumental bridge is yet again proof of their genius as a band. It is mind-blowingly good. While ‘Complex’ is upbeat, it completely clashes with its lyrics about self-doubt and self-hatred. Happy sound with sad lyrics is hands down one of our favorite genres, and LUCY has always mastered it. ‘Doggaebi Dance’ is even more energic with its grandiose and insane production. Yes, it’s about being self-conscious, but it’s also about embracing not knowing who you are. Once again, the instrumental is absolutely everything, and the effect and atmosphere they create are unique and irreplicable.

It wouldn’t be a LUCY release without a song to tug at your heartstrings like no other. Let us introduce you to ‘Burn it.’ It starts softly and lowkey with beautiful melodies that are already enough to lure us in. The build-up is what makes it even more impactful and unique. ‘Burn It’ is that type of ballad only LUCY can really give us. And it is followed by possibly the most special song in FROM.: ‘Falling Flower.’ LUCY initially played this song during their tour, and words cannot explain how happy we are to finally have it in streaming platforms so that we can loop it with no end. This song is peak LUCY: it’s everything we love the most about them. ‘Falling Flower,’ paralleled to their debut ‘Flowering,’ is about finding hope after falling down. It has that anthem and hug feel to it. ‘Falling Flower’ is the perfect comfort song. And LUCY is the perfect band to wrap up the summer with.
