Interview: Lucie Silvas

 
After a ten year absence from the UK music scene, Lucie Silvas finally returns with the rather stunning Letters To Ghosts. Coinciding with a series of UK shows, Lucie is determined to redefine her artistry in the UK scene.

Best known for her big ballads, her fans will be pleased to know they are still present but thrown in with a good country sing song or two. To find out more about the music that motivates, we asked, What song always makes you...

Smile: DREAMS COME TRUE, HALL AND OATES.... It's impossible not to wanna get off your ass and start moving to this song... whatever the moving might be! It puts me in a great mood, it's uplifting and slightly comical in a way! ??

Contemplate: FIRE AWAY, CHRIS STAPLETON.... Beautiful and poignant lyrics that talk about struggles and overcoming them. His voice kills me .

Cry: SOMEBODY TO LOVE , Kacey Musgraves..... "We're just little kids looking for love, don't we all just need somebody to love" It's my fav song of hers.... she's an amazing writer and this gets me every time I listen. ??

Laugh: FLIGHT OF THE CONCORDS, BUSINESS SOCKS.... self explanatory... check it out!! My fav Kiwi music comedians! ??

Want to work out: BUILD THE BEAT, THE SHADOWBOXERS.... can't help but be motivated by it, the best groove.... it actually mainly makes me wanna go dance all night, but there's always just a 3% chance of that workout happening!??

Reminisce: COLDPLAY, FIX YOU ..... Still gets me, and brings back memories of hearing it for the first time with my friend, Jon Green, and us both freaking out and getting teared up!! ??

Relax: ELIOT ROOT, BODY DOWN.... This is a local Nashville band and Scott the singer's voice is mezmerising. Check them out. I also love their song "Punks and Poets". ??

Feel Determined: AUTOMATIC, MIRANDA LAMBERT..... makes me wanna change things; get back to the things that matter. ??

Dance: JD MCPHERSON, NORTH SIDE GAL..... amazing sounding record and one in a million artist. This is a get up and go song!
