French artist Lucie Sue is thrilled to announce the release of brand-new album “Battlestation” on 29th August via Sphynx Music. Furthermore, Lucie signed a physical distribution deal with Listenable Records for both vinyl and CDs, while retaining TuneCore for digital distribution. The record will be available in different formats: crystal CD case, collector’s pink vinyl (limited edition of 500 copies) and digitally across all main platforms.
“Battlestation” is a one-of-a-kind album, a collection of 13 tracks, each leading you toa different universe. “Battlestation” is an invitation to an eclectic journey. Lucie Sue refuses to be boxed in; she thrives on daring mixes and surprising fusions: a blend of 90s Grunge, Hard Rock, Metal, with a classical twist!
Lucie Sue crafted “Battlestation” at home, in her living room. Lyrics, music and instruments, were single-handedly forged, creating a genuine grunge metal nuclear bomb. But she wasn’t alone on this battlefield!
Her brother, Baptiste, her lifelong accomplice, lent a hand with recording and fine-tuning the arrangements. Her band mates Enzo (guitar) and Mitch (drums) also recorded and arranged their own parts on the record. Thanks to a crowdfunding campaign and precious support form her loved ones, part of the funding was secured. The rest? A daily grind to unearth the missing funds. But Lucie Sue is living proof that with killer ideas, relentless hard work, and boundless energy, you can move mountains: she dropped 8 singles and their videos in 8 months on a ridiculous budget.
Each track is a slice of life, a true story, drawn from her childhood, relationships, love, grief, the afterlife. Everything is approached with raw honesty and mind-blowing lyrics! And to top it all off, an unexpected, yet exceptional, collaboration: Satchel, the legendary guitarist from Steel Panther, on the track «Ride the Wired Wild Tiger»!
Lucie comments: “more than just an album, «Battlestation» is a message of hope for those who doubt, who hesitate. It’s the shining proof that you can try anything, at any age, no matter the situation. Your only real enemy is yourself. So, never stop believing in yourself! Go for it!”
“You’ve been warned: the beast is unleashed!” Lucie Sue continues “Battlestation is gonna shake your guts and your soul. This isn’t just a record; it’s a a raw punch bor from a relentless, insane determination”.
For an album this explosive, you need a visual that slaps! After countless brainstorms and trials, the cover art finally landed on a killer shot from the “Reckless” music video. And for good reason: it perfectly captures the raw essence of Lucie Sue.
With its vibrant, acid-toned colors and an attitude that mixes cool nonchalance with wild energy, this album cover screams Lucie Sue. It’s the ultimate visual proof of her unique power and her knack for kicking your life into overdrive, with serious style.
