2025 sees the release of Lucy Mellenfields highly anticipated debut album, Tell The Water, She Will Listen. She embarks on her pre-release tour this summer. The songs explore her love of jazz, folk, and alternative genres, interweaving improvisation and folk melodies, immersive soundscapes and thought- provoking lyrics. Fragility is a core theme running through the album, drawing on personal perspectives on heartache and loss, societal pressures, the human condition, and womens health. Lucy is joined by a group of exceptional musicians, threading layers of colour, texture, and depth into each song. Expect to be moved by the honesty and raw nature of her soul-baring performance.
