Lucy Tun
Release
Natural Connections
Lucy Tun holds a mirror up to her generation so closely you can see their breath on it. The Burmese-British artist isn’t interested in illusion or clever angles — she’s chasing what’s real.
Her latest EP Unreal traces the blurred line between fantasy and reality: the mascara-smeared, screen-smashed point where our curated lives collide with the truths beneath.
It’s in that space — half dream, half daylight — that you’ll find Lucy Tun, giving voice to every twenty-something who feels that same sharp resonance in her music.
Lucy’s debut project was entirely self-made — written, produced, mixed and mastered solo while she was still a student.
Its success opened a parallel world: her 2019 single Ride hit over half a million Spotify streams as she took her first steps into adulthood, DJing for Gucci and ROTATE while navigating the complexities of responsibility, love and loneliness. Unreal arrived after a period of stillness.
Having graduated straight into a pandemic, Lucy found herself in creative paralysis, unsure how to move forward. But taking her time became part of the process. When her earlier work as LCYTN was tangled in self-doubt, Lucy Tun emerged from it with clarity and control — this time, firmly in the driver’s seat.
“There’s no going back now. ”
Instead of succumbing to pressure to complicate her sound, Lucy leaned into her pop instincts. On Unreal, simplicity is not a flaw but a statement — a reminder that honesty often lands harder than ornament. More than a songwriter, she’s a storyteller; each of the EP’s seven tracks turns a new page in a fully realised world.
In 2024, Lucy returned to DJ-ing and released her summer anthem Come To My House, now approaching one million streams and celebrated with a live party at Axel Arigato’s Soho flagship. She’s currently at work on her next body of material, set for release in 2026 — one that promises to continue bridging the gap between reality and reverie, on her own terms.
