We’ve got an extensive feature on Lucy Dacus, a talented local singer/songwriter from Richmond, in our upcoming print issue. I won’t give away too much right now, but I can assure you she’s an incredible artist well worth your time. To illustrate her talent, The Fader recently conducted a brief interview with her and showcased her latest track “I Don’t Want To Be Funny Anymore.” You can listen to it below.
Read a snippet from The Fader’s article here. Keep an eye out for our December RVA Print edition, where we’ll dive deeper into an interview with this young and gifted artist.
In her email to The FADER, Dacus shared that while crafting this song, she contemplated the pressure of conforming to a specific persona assigned by others, especially if you’re known as the ‘funny one.’ She explained how it can be challenging to always live up to those expectations and how you don’t want to disappoint people who expect a particular identity from you. It’s a relatable sentiment, and she captures it beautifully in her music.
