A stylish girl from Maidstone, Kent and an acoustic guitar have a power more impressive and controlling than that of a hung parliament. Lucy Holliday's songs can affect the individual with their well-written true nature, it connects with the listener on a personal base. It is an outrage that the media and pop charts are full of Lady Gaga's and Kanye West's when real talent such as Lucy's is subject to Myspace. This girl has the potential to infiltrate a major audience, and cause heartbreak to all the angst-filled teenagers out there, she is a representative of how creative a teenage audience can be, which can sometimes be overlooked by superficial American teens such as Beiber.
Her song Music Man is one of the most amazing contemporary songs to have been written, it shows the innocence in Lucy's voice and the tender nature that links to the intimate relationship between her songs and the listener. Music Man gave me goose bumps, her voice is so raw yet amazingly sweet, the juxtaposition of these two styles really reflects creative she is as a singer/songwriter. Her accent is very thick during this song and is not, as many female singer/songwriters have been doing in recent years, putting on a mockney tone, she is staying true to her roots, and I think that is really important in a musical culture that puts that latest reality TV show winner on a pedestal, the listener gets the emotion put into writing and recording the song, that emotion doesn't seem to be captured in many contemporary musicians.
Several other songs of hers are featured on her Myspace page, http://www.myspace.com/lucyhmusic, that all carry the same Holliday magic, the sense of emotion in her voice is so strong it seems unreal she hasn't got a record contract. As Lucy progresses in her music I doubt there will not be a record contract on the table soon. So please please please visit her Myspace page and tell your friends about an upcoming musical artist, Lucy Holliday http://www.myspace.com/lucyhmusic
