Lucette – Heading For The End

Canadian singer-songwriter Lucette shares the relatably fatalistic new single “Heading for the End,” the latest from her upcoming EP Nice Girl From The Suburbs, which releases on March 21.

This song finds Lucette living in the complexity of being human while still resisting people pleasing stereotypes. Singing “everytime it hurts, I’m heading for the end,” she exists both as someone experiencing the real feelings of pain, as well as an observer chiding her own tendency to catastrophize.

“Heading For The End” follows Lucette’s previous single, the pedal-steel-filled boot-stomper “Back in the Blue” featuring Mariel Buckley. Speaking about the new song, she explains, “‘Heading For The End’ is an extension on topics that I began to speak about on my last album. It’s a dark, sarcastic way of looking at my near melodramatic behavior when I feel low. Thinking that when I’m hurt, I’m heading for the end. Telling myself stories that probably aren’t true. Leaning into those feelings a bit too much at times.”

Nice Girl From the Suburbs is an intimately personal six-song EP that expands the musical inclinations Lucette (aka Lauren Gillis) first began exploring on her acclaimed 2019 release Deluxe Hotel Room. Working with producer Soren Hansen (New Politics, Elle King, Sam Palladio), Lucette delivers more autobiographical, introspective songwriting, as she takes full control of her musical direction for the first time in her career. Mixing self-pity with clever self-deprecation, Nice Girl From the Suburbs is brimming with self-awareness and a sense of shared humanity, as the wry observer in Lucette turns her sharply intuitive eye onto herself.
