Lucy Kitchen – Red Skies

Today, Acclaimed singer-songwriter Lucy Kitchen releases her wistful new single ‘Red Skies’ via her own Bohemia Rose Records and German label Make My Day.

Artist, mother, classically trained flautist, music teacher, poet, yogi, traveller – Hampshire’s Lucy Kitchen wears many hats. With two albums out on her own Bohemia Rose Records, along with the intimate The Stabal Sessions EP in 2023, Lucy has steadily been creating music and collaborating with household names, earning recognition as a distinctive talent in modern folk music.

To embody the spirit of spontaneous summer magic, her new single ‘Red Skies’ showcases what is becoming the Lucy Kitchen blend, as folk and Americana fuse with a soft country production.

In her own words, the new track and its essence is “catching a vibe when you want to just spontaneously go out and see where the night takes you”. This folk-fueled hymn paints a picture of  dusky skies, dusty roads and those slightly unplanned summer evenings which feel full of possibility. Lucy’s soothing vocals are beautifully supported by a rich soundscape featuring everything from guitar, banjo, double bass, drums and even a pedal steel, creating an essence of warmth and wonder.

Lucy’s inspiration for the single came during an ordinary moment that transformed into something extraordinary. “I wrote ‘Red Skies’ at the traffic lights one evening in Southampton in June”, she recalls. “If you’ve been to Southampton you’ll know how much time you spend sat at the lights. It was early evening, warm, the swifts were circling and it was one of those evenings that just beckoned for something to happen.”
