Biography

[b]Hungry Lucy[/b] takes you on a dark trip-hop journey hovering between melodic low-tempo electronics and ghostly emotional female vocals. The mysterious depth and subtle innocence of Christa Belle's sombre lyrics give a certain gothic twist to the modern electronic compositions. If comparisons have been made with [a=Portishead], [a=Switchblade Symphony], [a=Bel Canto], [a=Dead Can Dance], etc. the strong identity of Hungry Lucy makes them stand out as different and unique. The trip-hop rhythm arrangements are surrounded with lush melodic avantgardish orchestrations, creative electronic loops and shimmering atmospheres, while the catchy vocals delicately merge with the music. Their debut album "Apparitions: revisited", is a splendiferous symbiosis of emotions that can't leave you unaffected and can appeal to a rather wide audience (from the modern goth wave listener to the trip-hop goer through any romantic synth pop lover). Their second album entitled "Glo" continues the American duo's tradition of mellow gothic grooves, catchy melodies and Christa Belle's enchanting vocals. This album branches out a little further though, into trip-hop electronica.

LYRICS

On the other side
Of these castle walls
Lies a world I'm not a part of
Forbidden to even think for myself
Dared to step outside the line
For fear of torture

I always wanted to know
How to kill a king
Use his madness against him
Forsake everything
Though his grip is so tight
And it's choking me
I will find a way out
Of this loyalty

Just when I thought I was
Running out of time
The King stood trembling at my bedside
He said â??if you leave me now,
My suicide will follow�
And I said â??what are you waiting for?â?

Now I know
How to kill a king
Now he suffers in silence
With a poisonous sting
He could not steal my might
And it seems to be
I have found a way out
Of his loyalty

I know that I can survive
Outside this cage
Maybe now I can fight through
All this rage

I'm so glad I knew
How to kill the King
I tore down the boundaries
And took off the ring
To reap what you sow
Is how it should be
There's no one left on the throne
Of this royalty
