Lucy Kitchen’s latest single ‘In My Corner,’ which was released last Friday via her own Bohemia Rose Records and Make My Day Records.
Lucy Kitchen is a British folk singer-songwriter based in Romsey, Hampshire and is already forging a powerful reputation for herself as someone who musically is “exploring profound concepts of grief and loss, drawing inspiration from lyrical poets, nature, the seasons, and the art of creating beauty out of difficulty.”
Referencing conversations she had with her late husband Stephen, and talking about the new single, Lucy Kitchen says: : “We used to sit up and have these big life/death chats as we knew he didn’t have long to live at a certain point. I remember one night having a really big one about what I was going to do and me chucking out all these slightly crazy ideas and him just saying that he wanted me to really live my life and do whatever I wanted. A lot of this song comes out of that and has become one of my favourite tracks on the album.”
On this evidence alone, there is a raw, emotional honesty to Lucy Kitchen’s songwriting, a trait that is complemented by her assured self-possession and personal resilience. It is hard not to be moved by this song.
