Her pop music explores the balance between electronic and organic elements as well as mixing a classic British modesty with an intensely soulful presence. The outcome is hard-hitting, rhythmic and flirtatious compositions, all relating to her primary sources of inspiration, gospel and soul.
When she in 2010 released her critically acclaimed debut album “La Petite Mort”, in which comparisons were drawn to Kate Bush and Beyoncé, the reviews were as follows: “Lucy Swann is among the most refreshing and catchy Norwegian pop acts in a long time” (Aftenposten) and “Lucy Swann has it all. Beautiful vocals, a soaring electronic soundscape, a dark mysticism and momentum.” (P3Urørt).
Her live performance is refreshingly raw. With her confident femininity, Lucy Swann spellbinds her audience making her impossible to ignore.

NORWEGIAN: Solodebutanten fra Asker/Oslo (født i England), LUCY SWANN, slapp albumet LA PETITE MORT våren 2010. “Årets første popsensasjon”, skrev Dagbladet, mens Aftenposten mener at det er “..rett og slett noe av det friskeste og fengende i norsk popmusikk på lenge”. Dagsavisen er heller ikke i tvil: “Med La Petire Mort melder Lucy Swann seg som en het kandidat til tittelen Årets norske debutant” og Dagbladet triller også inn til terningkast 5 med begrunnelsen “…viltvoksende, organisk elektropop.” Furoreiharare.com sier kort og godt om La Petite Mort: “…og der kom den endelig!” og med NRK P3 og Urørts omtale levnes det vel ingen tvil tilbake:
“Lucy Swann har alt. Nydelig vokal, svevende elektronisk lydteppe, mørk mystikk og driv. (…) Uten tvil Norges nye elektropophåp.”
