Brace for beautiful heartbreak in the new single 'Gone' from Brisbane indie-pop artist Lucy Korts

Brisbane indie-pop songstress, Lucy Korts is fast becoming known for her intense vulnerability, enchanting vocals and empowering aura, and with her latest single, ‘Gone’ shows a fearless approach to songwriting paired with powerful, emotionally-ripe deliveries.

Moody, dark, and synth-drenched pop, ‘Gone’ puts the musical weight on your chest, with a deep heartbeat kick, and reversing synth strings, but over the low rumble of bass, there is a breath, with Lucy’s vocals shifting from heartbreak, to resolution and light. It’s powerful, and releasing, and hits right in the feels.

With the force of an intense cathartic release, the bridge explodes in a crescendo of dramatic synths as Lucy’s unshrinking vocals ignite a powerful lyrical hook. As the song continues to build with unyielding emotional strength, the impact of Lucy’s grief hits hard with one last painful realisation.

There are several nods to different electronic music generations from the more recent ASMR-based synth pop, to the dark indie-synth vibes (a la Imogen Heap), and a cheeky 80s nod as well, all wrapped up in a highly polished production.

Instilled with the strength of a singer and the heart of a songwriter, Lucy Korts debuted in 2017, sharing the stage with the likes of Alex Lahey, The Paper Kites & The Temper Trap at the Queensland Flower Festival, garnering well-deserved recognition from her stirring performances and enthralling vocal prowess.

Since then, Lucy Korts has continued evolving her sound, using electro-pop flavours to match her unflinching lyrical instincts, releasing multiple singles, including ‘Crocodiles Cry’, ‘Not Your Type’ and last year’s ‘Everyone’.

Known for connecting with audiences through the vulnerability she brings to her songwriting, Lucy Korts delivers her gentle strength to ‘Gone’, written about the gut-wrenching pain of being hurt by someone, as she explains:

“'Gone' is a feeling like the one in your chest when your heart is breaking. It's an anthem for anybody who has been hurt by somebody in a way words can't show, bringing a strong and equally as delicate pop beat that delivers honesty to the feelings that come with hurt.”
