“Steal My Shimmer,” her bold alt-rock reimagining of TLC’s 1999 classic, “Unpretty,” is out now from Armenian-Canadian singer-songwriter and guitarist Arabella Lucia. The high-energy single released October 23rd is an electrifying rejection of shrinking oneself to fit someone else’s insecurities. Drawing on her own experience of a male musician trying to undermine her abilities, Lucia turns the imbalance into a pointed statement of self-belief. The song, which has towering guitars and a punk attitude and a powerhouse chorus, is a key part of her self-styled ‘Rockstar Princess’ sound, combining a feminine look with an uncompromising rock ‘n’ roll ethos.
London’s Alt-Rock Prodigy and Her First EP.
Arabella Lucia is currently recording her debut album at Eastcote Studios in London, channeling the raw emotion of Olivia Rodrigo and the rebellious energy of Paramore. “Steal My Shimmer” is the final single before her highly-anticipated debut EP drops on November 13th. The upcoming five-song collection will highlight the range of her songwriting, including her bold debut single “Hostage You Call Baby,” an intimate acoustic re-imagining of the tune, and her edgy cover of “Unpretty.” She’s already hit stages including The Alternative Escape and the Gibson Garage London Acoustic Sessions, and Lucia is proving she’s not just an artist to watch, she’s leading the next wave of global alt-rock.
