Lucy Dacus is doubling down with her release of two new singles, “Bus Back to Richmond” and “More Than Friends.”
Released Friday morning, the songs come fresh off the heels of the boygenius member’s major-label debut, Forever is a Feeling, and its subsequent tour, which will last until this November.
On “Bus Back to Richmond,” the way Dacus strums her acoustic guitar gives off a melancholic vibe.
With a refined voice, Dacus sings about a love interest who could never seem to get the timing right with her. They desperately long for a chance, yet they missed her signals to make a move. Her ending statement indicates it is already too late.
“More Than Friends” tells a different story in a different way.
Over banjo, light amplified guitar, and simple percussion, Dacus chronicles a budding relationship with a longtime friend that just happened out of nowhere. Despite her awareness that they don’t seem like a good match, she professes her love anyway.
These two singles find Lucy Dacus in an interesting place, both in her personal and musical journey.
Both singles reaffirm her relatability through their thoughtful detail and honest delivery, sure to delight longtime fans and welcome newcomers alike.
