Lucy Deakin’s new song, Solar Eclipse, is an alternative/electro pop song about wanting to be in a better place after the end of a relationship. After a breakup, we need space and time to heal. This is already difficult to deal with on our own. It becomes more difficult when the person is still very present in our lives. The only way to truly move on is for your past lover to completely remove themselves from your life. Once they do that, you can get on with the healing process and reach that better place which just so happens to be sunny like a solar eclipse.
Solar Eclipse is led by rhythmic drumming and distinctive vocals. In the first half of the chorus, she expresses “I’ll be in a better place. Gonna make my sweet escape. Don’t call me up. Don’t call me.” In the second half of the chorus, she’s shouting lyrics that reflect feelings of liberation. “Want, want what I want. Thinking I’m done calling it quits. Done calling it sunny but it is a solar eclipse.” I love the summer vibe and aesthetic. The song reminds me of Charli XCX who I am a fan of. If you’re not ready to embrace fall yet, you can still enjoy summer by listening to this fun song.
Lucy Deakin is a singer-songwriter born and raised in Stoke-on-Trent, England, but is influenced by Los Angeles, California, and based in London, England. So far in her young career, she has amassed over one million views on TikTok, a Top 25 single on iTunes, support from BBC Radio 1, and been named an Essential Emerging Artist by NME. She has collaborated with many artists including McFly, Dylan Nash, and Becky Hill. Also, she is one of the original members of LOUD LDN, a female and non-binary alternative pop group. I think she’s really cool and unique and would highly recommend you check her music out.
