The track comes ahead of the release of a forthcoming five-track EP from the artist
With the release of her energetic second single ‘Unpretty’, London based Armenian-Canadian singer, guitarist and songwriter Arabella Lucia continues to establish her distinctive brand of pop-tinged alternative rock and a vibrant, emotionally charged appeal that feels as liberating as it is dynamic.
The new single, a cover of TLC’s classic single from 1999, unfortunately has a narrative that feels as relevant and hard-hititng as it ever has, with its lyrics surrounding themes like unrealistic beauty standards and self-identity feeling just as appropriate almost 30 years on from the original release. The way that the artist explores these themes in such a rock-edged and impactful way adds a whole other layer of catharsis and grit to the sound, and it makes for a cover and a reworking that adds a whole new dimension to the track.
