Single Review - F You - Lucy Gallant

I have to admit when I saw the publicity photos of Lucy Gallant I thought oh dear this is not going to be for me. She is a dressed in like a Carmen Miranda bonnet with a bikini top and a floral tassely pink skirt/shorts ensemble, sat in an empty bath outside, with a chihuahua by her side.

But! I thought I would persevere, and it paid off. Instead of being hit by some euro synth pop I was hit with what I can only describe as the The Shangri-La’s meet Amy Winehouse. A great piece of period pop music, complete with brass and strings, which doesn’t sound dated but doesn’t necessarily sound current either.

A cheeky vocal on the top and there you have it, the perfect ear worm for summer 2025, with the full fuck word thrown in numerous times. There is a family version available with the offensive words shortened to a letter. Lucy hails from Cairns Australia and is embarking on an extensive UK and European tour, so good luck with that Lucy.

Is this rebellious? Not really, its 2025 and people have heard this word so many times it no longer holds the power it used to.

Is it a novelty record? I would say so yes, and I would be interested in hearing more of her stuff to see what sort of punch it packs. But this delivers as a summery pop song which people at gigs will sing a long to before the end of their first hearing.
