Help Me Help Me

What's in a name? Lucy Schwartz chose to keep her given name because she feels it gives insight into who she is as an artist.
My name, Lucy Schwartz, means light/dark, she explains. I see both sides, so when I write a song like Help Me! Help Me! it might have desperate, sad lyrics, but it has the contrast of an upbeat melody. I like to mix both sides of the spectrum.
Imaginative, wise, evolving: Lucy Schwartz is an accomplished recording artist, vocalist, pianist and songwriter from Los Angeles whose artistry far surpasses her chronological age of 20.

Her new EP, Help Me! Help Me!, is a perfect introduction to the light and dark sides of Lucy. On board are producers Mitchell Froom (Elvis Costello, Paul McCartney, Coconut Records), Barrie Maguire (The Wallflowers, Amos Lee), d.Fly Schwartz (Arrested Development, Deadwood). From acoustic piano/vocal tracks to jaunty horn-driven arrangements, Lucy crafts songs that are as emotionally resonant as they are addictive. Perhaps this is why taste-maker radio station, KCRW, has discovered Lucy as an emerging artist to watch out for.
