Lucy McWilliams, hailing from the heart of Dublin, gifts us with her debut EP, “Third Second Chance.” It’s a kaleidoscope of her vibrant alt-pop essence, with each track woven with her hauntingly beautiful vocals and layers of raw, honest narratives. Imagine the kind of music that paints a sunset in your mindโvivid, yet somehow soothing.
This EP is like a patchwork quilt of emotions. Take “Plastic,” for instance; it’s a bittersweet anthem that echoes the struggle of staying true to oneself. And then there’s “Mr Useless,” a song that dances with anger, almost as if it’s a tango with shadows. But it’s not all introspection and broodingโupbeat numbers like “Follow Me” and “Iโm OK” are like bursts of sunlight, inviting you into McWilliams’ world of love and self-respect.
McWilliams isn’t just sticking to one genreโoh no. She’s mixing it up with a rich tapestry of sounds. Think indie expansiveness, R&B’s smoothness, and a touch of ’90s rock nostalgia. It’s as if she’s opening a new chapter with this EP, one that promises an even more eclectic and mature sound.
