After winning Best Folk Work at The 2023 Music Victoria Awards for her recent album, Into The Blue, singer-songwriter Lucy Wise releases her new acoustic EP, Yearning.

Lucy considers yearning to be one of the deepest emotions humans can feel, and she explores its many forms in this shining handful of songs. She tells stories about how yearning shows up when we lose someone, when we're not loved back, when we're dreaming of our future, or on a walk in the rain.

Yearning has frequented Lucy's songs, and traditional folk songs Lucy grew up singing. Perhaps yearning is always somewhere deep in us - even during moments of joy, a part of us longs for that joy to last, or to come back. For Lucy, yearning is fundamental to her creativity, a thread running through her music.

Produced by Luke Plumb, the EP has a warm, inviting contemporary folk sound that draws on traditional folk, roots and pop music influences. The first track, “Handsome Molly”, is an old time American folk song Lucy has loved singing for many years. Throughout Yearning, Dancing rhythms, playful percussion, soul-stirring strings, piano and vocal harmonies set a vibrant scene for Lucy's moving vocal performances.

Into The Blue

Lucy Wise

Lucy Wise's fourth album, “Into the Blue” reflects the freedom Lucy feels with music. Ranging from live-recorded solo vocals and guitar, to epic strings, percussion, brass and backing vocals, this new body of work speaks about human feeling with wholeheartedness and a sense of adventure.

Lucy Wise's fourth album, “Into the Blue” reflects the freedom Lucy feels with music. Ranging from live-recorded solo vocals and guitar, to epic strings, percussion, brass and backing vocals, this new body of work speaks about human feeling with wholeheartedness and a sense of adventure.

The album and its upcoming B-side EP, “Yearning” comprise songs Lucy has written over the past five years. In this body of work, Lucy writes and sings about the often-untouched universals – those things we’re often not allowed to feel and explore in the daily grind. Singing her songs openly, Lucy creates a space to reflect on the things that matter the most to us.

The songs on “Into the Blue” touch on themes Lucy hasn’t explored before, including body image, queer love, mental illness and recovery, moving from city to rural life, and the ways we can grow through old friendships. Having continued to hone her craft through the pandemic, Lucy has re-remerged into performing and music-making with a stronger sense of connection, identity and purpose.

The album was produced by Tasmanian producer Luke Plumb over twelve months between 2021 and 2022. Lucy and Luke’s recording sessions were a calm, creative haven amongst the whirlwind of returning to life as touring musicians, and the album celebrates the rich musical world they both inhabit. Featuring fifteen guest musicians, this album is like walking past crowded marquees at a festival, and hearing a colourful unfurling of so many different sounds. With every new listen, there’s more to be discovered.
