Lucius’ debut new song, “Heartbursts”—watch/share the official music video HERE.
The video is the directorial debut for acclaimed international choreographer and movement director Teresa “Toogie” Barcelo. Known for her work with artists such as Harry Styles, Dua Lipa, Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera and St. Vincent, Barcelo has also choreographed large scale performances for the GRAMMYs, BRIT Awards and American Music Awards as well as major commercial projects with Nike and Pepsi.
Reflecting on the video, Jess Wolfe shares, “We’ve been wanting to work with Toogie for years after seeing her dynamic work with a diverse cast of artists from Perfume Genius to Dua Lipa. Because the song is about finding your joy and tapping into it, we thought what better way to emphasize that than with a group of people in their everyday life moments, breaking out with movement. We really wanted the video to convey the way the song feels when we hear it, and as a team, it really came to life.”
“Heartbursts” is the third song unveiled from Lucius’ anticipated new album, Second Nature, which will be released April 8 on Mom + Pop Music (U.S. and Mexico), Dine Alone (Canada), Second Nature Records/Secretly Distribution (RoW) [pre-order]. Produced by Dave Cobb and Brandi Carlile, Second Nature is a portrait of singer and songwriters Holly Laessig and Jess Wolfe’s shared reflection, chronicling each other’s seismic life shifts—motherhood, divorce, unplanned career pauses—and setting it to music. Ahead of the release, two album tracks recently debuted, “White Lies” and “Next To Normal,” of which Paste praises, “hyper-catchy choruses…with a timeless dance groove that does anything but overstay its welcome.”
In celebration of the album, the band will embark on a North American headline tour this spring followed by a series of European shows in September. Upcoming stops include New York’s Beacon Theatre, Philadelphia’s The Fillmore, Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium and London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire among many others. In addition to the headline shows, the band will join Carlile on several marquee concerts this summer including Washington’s Gorge Amphitheatre, L.A.’s The Greek Theatre and Colorado’s Red Rock Amphitheatre.
