Listen to Lucy Dacus’ vulnerable new single ‘Talk’
Lucy Dacus has shared the vulnerable new single ‘Talk’ from upcoming album ‘Forever Is A Feeling‘. Check it out below.
The track features a thumping drum beat and fuzzy guitars as Dacus asks: “Why can’t we talk anymore / We used to talk for hours / Do I make you nervous or bored / or did I drink you to the last drop,” vulnerably questioning what went wrong in a relationship.
‘Talk’ marks the fourth single to be released from her upcoming fourth album which is set for release on March 28 via Polydor/Geffen (pre-order/pre-save here). The track follows the previously shared ‘Ankles’ and ‘Limerence’ – both of which arrived in January – and last month’s ‘Best Guess’.
She recently revealed the 13-song tracklist of ‘Forever Is A Feeling’, which came with custom illustrations from Nicole Jaclyn Smith.
Among the 10 remaining tracks that fans have yet to hear are album opener ‘Calliope Prelude’, ‘Modigliani’, the title track ‘Forever Is A Feeling’, ‘Most Wanted Man’ and ‘Lost Time’. Hozier will also feature on the album, namely on the track ‘Bullseye’.
Though Hozier is the only featured guest listed so far, it was previously reported that the record will supposedly include contributions from Blake Mills, Bartees Strange, Madison Cunningham, Collin Pastore, Jake Finch and Melina Duterte. Dacus’ Boygenius bandmates Phoebe Bridgers and Julien Baker will also reportedly make appearances.
Dacus has also announced a run of UK and European shows for this summer, including a performance at the O2 Academy Brixton on June 26 – the Thursday of Glastonbury Festival 2025. The artist is currently scheduled to appear at Worthy Farm on Saturday, June 28.
On Monday June 30, she’ll continue her UK trek with a gig at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall before taking to the stage at Manchester Academy (July 2) and Dublin’s Iveagh Gardens (3). Dacus is then scheduled to play Roskilde Festival in Denmark on July 5.
