Boston-native singer-songwriter and composer Lucy Frost is back with her latest single, To Pieces, a raw and evocative exploration of love's vulnerability and the fleeting nature of beauty. Known for her distinctive fusion of dark pop and indie, Lucy has captured the hearts of listeners with her emotionally resonant storytelling. Following her recent releases, Reputation (2023) and Angeles (2024), which have gained traction on major streaming platforms, To Pieces marks another bold step in Lucy’s evolving sound.


For Lucy, the creation of To Pieces was an almost effortless process. "It just fell perfectly into place while writing it," she explains, crediting producer Nick Schmidt for crafting the initial production that immediately resonated with her. This connection to the music sparked the flood of emotions that shaped the song’s lyrics and melodies. Instead of leaning on intricate language, Lucy focused on the visceral, gut-wrenching feelings that overwhelmed her in that moment.


At its core, To Pieces delves into the delicate balance of new love—the excitement and wonder mixed with the inevitable fear that it won’t last forever. "It’s about loving something to pieces," Lucy says, capturing the essence of the song. This sense of fragility, of holding something beautiful that could shatter at any moment, is palpable throughout the track. The production mirrors this tension, blending Lucy’s dark pop sensibilities with a haunting, atmospheric soundscape that envelops the listener in the emotional whirlwind of the song.

The depth of emotion in To Pieces made it a natural fit for a visual representation, and Lucy enlisted director Camila Florez to create the music video. Drawing inspiration from the 1995 film Before Sunrise, the video tells the story of love blooming at the wrong time—two people meeting, falling for each other, but ultimately knowing that their connection is ephemeral. Much like the song itself, the video embraces the bittersweet reality that some love stories, no matter how intense, aren’t meant to last.


Florez’s cinematic direction complements Lucy’s lyrical themes beautifully, emphasising the fleeting, dreamlike quality of love. As the story unfolds on screen, the characters move through intimate moments of connection, aware that their time together is limited. The video perfectly captures the essence of To Pieces, turning the song’s narrative into a visual exploration of love’s fragility.


Lucy Frost is no stranger to the power of music and emotion. Her background in film scoring and multi-instrumental talents allow her to create soundscapes that push the boundaries of dark pop and indie genres. Her ability to blend cinematic elements with deeply relatable lyrics is part of what makes her music stand out. Whether through her songwriting, compositions, or instrumentation, Lucy’s work is always grounded in emotional authenticity.


Her previous singles, Reputation and Angeles, further demonstrated her ability to connect with audiences on a personal level, tackling themes of self-perception and personal growth. With To Pieces, Lucy deepens that connection, crafting a track that speaks to the universal experience of love’s fleeting nature.


As Lucy continues to build her repertoire, she’s establishing herself as a rising force in indie music. Her ability to merge dark, moody pop with evocative, cinematic storytelling sets her apart in a crowded landscape of singer-songwriters. To Pieces is a testament to her growth as an artist—an emotionally raw, beautifully composed piece that resonates with anyone who has loved and lost.


Looking ahead, Lucy shows no signs of slowing down. With more music and visual projects in the works, she is poised to continue captivating audiences with her unique blend of emotional depth and genre-defying soundscapes. As she continues to push boundaries and create music that touches the soul, Lucy Frost is undoubtedly a name to watch in the indie music scene.


To Pieces is available now on all major streaming platforms, and the accompanying music video is set to premiere soon, offering fans an immersive experience of love, heartbreak, and the inevitability of letting go.
