Luvcat announces details of debut album ‘Vicious Delicious’

DIY’s Class of 2025 alumni Luvcat has announced details of her debut album ‘Vicious Delicious’ - which is rather aptly set for release on Halloween, aka 31st October, via AWAL - and she’s shared the title track from the record to boot. 

Having already won herself legions of fans via a series of sultry but darkly-tinged offerings like ‘Matador’, ‘Dinner @ Brasserie Zédel’ and her most recently-released single ‘Lipstick’, the Liverpool singer’s album will see her continue to channel the vaudevillian feel that she’s so far cultivated. “Making this album happened accidentally,” Luvcat has said of the record. “Amongst the madness of the last year I decided I didn’t wanna fuck around with EPs or mixtapes. I really wanted to make my first proper statement and when I found out Halloween fell on a Friday, I knew we had to be fast to get it together. 

“Its lipstick’s a little smudged and its stockings are a little torn, but I am so proud of how we’ve captured this strange, magical story and all the lovers and libertines I’ve met along the way. I think the record is old school romance slightly off its hinges. A swinging pendulum between love and addiction, ecstasy and melancholy, eroticism and innocence, the deliciously vicious and the viciously delicious.”

Alongside the news, she’s also shared its title track, ‘Vicious Delicious’, which is - in her own words “a song about a terrible man who tasted like heaven. He was moreish, magnetic, devilishly handsome and danced like Fred Astaire. A true hedonist with a black eye to match. I was thinking a lot about Sid and Nancy at the time… dangerous, intoxicating love. Warning: do not fall for a man in band.” Check out its dramatic but surreal video - which was co-directed by Luvcat and Oliver Bradley-Baker - below.
