One of London’s hottest rising alternative R&B and Soul artists, Lucy Park, has returned with her captivating new single “BLUE SASHIKO”.
Following a recent standout feature on H.LLS’ “GUERILLAZ”, the London R&B newcomer drops off “BLUE SASHIKO”, produced by Aire Atlantica and Rob Aragón. The track opens with a soft acoustic guitar before unfolding into a trip-hop-leaning groove, threaded with flute-like accents and subtle digital textures that leave space for Lucy’s dynamic vocal range.
Speaking on BLUE SHASHIKO, Lucy explained: “‘BLUE SASHIKO’ is a song about stitching patterns into relationships and constructing / deconstructing yourself with a bunch of tiny little stitches. When I wrote it I had been thinking a lot about the threads that tie us together and how difficult it can feel to tear them apart… Sashiko is a type of Japanese embroidery that uses running stitches to repair and reinforce torn fabric. It often creates a new more visible pattern instead of attempting to discreetly hide the original tears.”
The release follows Lucy’s key performance at Brick Lane Jazz Festival and arrives ahead of her upcoming UK and EU support run with Katie Tupper, kickstarting on 16th May at Village Underground.
