New York, NY (Top40 Charts) St. Lucia have released their new song "Love Somebody," the slow-burning centerpiece off their forthcoming sophomore album 'Matter', out 1/29 via Columbia. The track premiered via HelloGiggles, who call it "a gorgeous, electropop, '80s ballad," and said of 'Matter,' "We have a feeling [St. Lucia's] newest musical offering is going to be dominating a whole lot of headphones."
St. Lucia's Patti Beranek says of the track, From the moment Jean first showed me the idea for this song, I've been in love with it. There is such an old-school soul slow-jam vibe about it. It's sexy and naughty and is really about longing. Maybe it's something secret that you can't tell anyone about. A need to be with somebody, maybe anybody, and feel desired. It's about how simple that need can be, and how simple it sometimes is to satisfy. Let's just call it a booty call song that's also about the romance of the booty call. It celebrates a certain feeling that I love in music, or in life in general: the space in between. The pull, the rub, where ying meets yang. A place where there is uncertainty but excitement. I love how it builds, I feel like you can get lost in it.
The band has also confirmed a second New York City show ahead of their already sold out 1/30 gig at Webster Hall. This new show will be the night before, 1/29, at Brooklyn's intimate Baby's All Right. Tickets are on sale via Ticketfly, full tour itinerary below: ticketf.ly/1PR1o2Z
Billboard named 'Matter' one of their 10 most anticipated rock/alternative albums of 2016, describing recent album track "
Physical" "like 'Midnight City' and 'Call Me Maybe' colliding in an echo chamber of millennial positivity." In a recent interview with KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic, host Jason Bentley said, "this should be the biggest band in the world right now." BuzzFeed named "Dancing On Glass" the most criminally underrated pop song of 2016, calling it, "A high-energy fusion of synths, catchy lyrics, and pure, unadulterated pop."
