Lucy Dacus on Writing Sweet and Tart Love Songs for Her Sensational Post-Boygenius Album, ‘Forever Is a Feeling’: ‘Why Not Wear Your Heart on Your Sleeve?’
Lucy Dacus talks about coming back after Boygenius' triumph with a terrific solo album, 'Forever Is a Feeling,' that wears her heart on its sleeve.
“Forever Is a Feeling” instantly lands as an album that will stand the test of 2025 as one of the year’s best — and offers the comforting assurance that, as these solo efforts emerge, the sum of the group’s parts could be even greater than the whole. And sometimes I feel really capable of that, and then sometimes it’s almost like a muscle that I don’t work out, and I get really fearful and I’m like, “No, everything that I love can’t go away.” It takes mental practice to just stay at peace with the idea that, yeah, everything’s gonna come to pass — and that doesn’t mean close off your heart because it’ll be painful when you lose everything. I don’t even know what year this was, but Adele had a free single on iTunes of “Hometown Glory.” I thought her voice was so beautiful, and I used to sing it, and her vocal quality was a little more similar to my lower, like slower (range).
