Lucy Rose is pleased to announce details of her fifth album, This Ain’t The Way You Go Out. It’s released on April 19 through Communion Records. The record is preceded today with a new track, ‘The Racket’, streaming now. It follows the recent release of Lucy’s returning single, ‘Could You Help Me’. Watch the video to ‘The Racket,’ directed by Dylan Friese-Greene, below.
Lucy Rose on ‘The Racket’: “I wanted my new album to end on a note of defiance and triumphant; of accepting what’s happened to me, pushing through, picking myself up and continuing life in the best way I can. I also wanted to start the song thanking my son Otis for loving me throughout everything, because really in those darkest times, it was his love that pulled me through.
“The song title nods to two things, the fact that the end of the song is an onslaught of noises and instrumentation, and also the fact that before breaking my back and receiving my diagnosis, tennis was a huge passion of mine, and I got told by my doctors I wouldn’t be able to play again, or potentially even walk. But slowly, slowly, I found my way back to the court and reclaimed that part of me.”
“And a final side note, this song was SO much fun to make, from start to finish, it brought a smile to my face every time!”
