Lucie Silvas is a dynamic, new British talent with an incredible voice, star appeal and a luminousness that truly sets her apart from other female singer/songwriters. Her remarkable debut album, ‘Breathe In’, produced by Mike Peden (Des’ree, Shara Nelson), will be released on October 11 2004 on Mercury Records.
Lucie is the real deal. A gifted, versatile singer with the vocal range of Christina Aguilera and a striking songwriting sensibility all of her own. A natural performer, she has a sensitivity to emotion, melody and storytelling that belies her 24 years. With such singular talent it is no surprise that Lucie counts Chris Martin, Burt Bacharach and Lionel Richie as fans.
Lucie grew up immersed in music. She started playing piano at the age of 5, and at the age of 10 composed her first love song. According to Lucie; “When everyone at school was listening to Bros, I was listening to gospel music, Stevie Wonder, Nat King Cole and The Carpenters. Especially, The Carpenters, Karen’s voice was just amazing�.
After several false starts, Lucie, signed now to Mercury Records, has produced an exceptional and truly personal album full of piano driven gems, “My album is about true things that have happened. Either to me, or to my friends or my family�. Album highlights range from the stark simplicity of, ‘Forget Me Not’, just Lucie and the piano, to the exhilarating big productions of, ‘Don’t Look Back’ and ‘The Game Is Won’.
Having supported Macy Gray, written songs for Rachel Stevens, Gareth Gates and Liberty X, including the hit track, ‘Jumpin’’, Lucie has taken the time to find a record contract and a sound that truly accommodates her talent and reflects her style. It is in singer/songwriter mode that Lucie really excels and feels most at home. Lucie says; “I’ve finally worked out what being Lucie Silvas is, its taken awhile to get there, but now I can say ‘This is me. This who I am’.
