Lucy Feliz
Brighton-based artist and musician LUCY FELIZ reveals the video for her new single ‘Last Laugh’.
The new track is the latest to be taken from her second album, Last of The Sun, which is released on 28th August 2020 via OK Pal Records.
Commenting on the single, Feliz says: “Last Laugh is a coming of age story, evocative of the moment a child realises they won't live forever. It's an ode to being young, feeling invincible, and capturing that vulnerability you feel when you realise you have no control of what the universe will bring. It's about letting go, embracing the humour in our menial existence, and laughing at it in the face of fear.”
Filmed by Tiia Kukkonen, who plays synth in Feliz’s live band, it was directed and edited by Feliz herself during lockdown.
“The concept was to escape the mundane by stepping into a ‘90s garden dreamworld,” she says of the footage. “The inner child explores their limits, and we see reality flutter between imagination and what's actually there. After all the excitement, it gets a bit sad, and we realise it's not that fun playing alone!”
On forthcoming new album Last of the Sun, we see Feliz shift her attention away from the realism of personal histories to a more fluid terrain. She transports the listener into dreamscapes and mythological plains, while retaining the lyrical intimacy that defined her first record.
“When I was a kid, my dressing up box was my favourite thing in the world,” Feliz explains. “I love shape-shifting and costume.”
