Lucy is one of the most talented musicians we’ve had the pleasure of being on our show! Not only is she talented, but she is super cool! Lucy recently released a video for her song “Gravity,” off her Help Me! Help Me! Ep. I recently had the opportunity to talk to her and here are her thoughts on the song and video! Get ready for some hot dance moves and enjoy the video above!
What was the concept behind the video?
I am always dancing every day, everywhere I go….so I figured it was about time I had a dancing music video! I wanted something that was also very interesting visually, so I came up with the idea of wearing white and projecting old family slides onto myself and the white background.
Who directed the music video?
My cousin, Cooper Roberts, directed the “Gravity” video. And my brother, Ian Schwartz, directed the “Help Me! Help Me!” video. It’s nice having so many artistic folks in the family.
What was the inspiration behind this beautiful song?
For me, the inspiration usually comes from the music itself. When I started writing the song, the chords had this triumphant feeling to them, and so the words came from that. To me, the song is about someone who is discovering their inner-power and realizing that they have the ability to do everything they’ve been dreaming of.
When is the new album being released?
“Life in Letters” is coming out summer 2010! Woohoo! It’s looking like the release date will be August!
What song or artist is your guilty pleasure?
Hanson. I have a great affection for Hanson.  I listened to them everyday when I was little. I was in love with Zach, and then Taylor, and then Isaac—so eventually I was in love with all of them. Their concert was the first concert I ever went to. Every time I hear them it brings me back to my childhood. Actually, as I was typing this, Hanson came on my shuffle and it made me so happy!
Thanks Again to Lucy! Catch her this summer at the Lilith Fair and tell her Mailo from ETS said “Hola!” Just be sure not to bring any butterflies to the show!
