What happens when someone you trust shows you a side you never expected? Rising indie-pop artist Lucinda Poy unpacks this haunting question in ‘Liar’, out today. Blending her pop-rock roots with glowing synths and electronic textures, the track pulses with emotion that is restless, bittersweet, and unshakably honest.
Despite its driving beat and electronic sheen, ‘Liar’ is quietly devastating as an intimate reckoning wrapped in shimmering sound. The track swells with atmospheric synth layers and heartbeat-like drums, grounding Lucinda’s dynamic vocals as they oscillate between airy falsetto and impassioned pleas. Her vocal agility captures every twist of emotion, from confusion to sorrow to reluctant understanding.
The song doesn’t shout in anger. It whispers the kind of heartbreak that lingers when someone you love breaks your trust. Subverting expectations, instead of condemning, this song pleads for an answer as to why. Lucinda Poy states,
“Sometimes the people you trust aren’t who you think they are. What made them lie to you, and why did they keep you in the dark? Does it make them a bad person? Seeing another side to someone is terrifying, and it can happen in a heartbeat.”
