Episode Description

It’s been eight years since Lucy unknowingly wandered onto the X Factor stage in 2012 to what would be the beginning of an incredible journey, both professionally and personally.

That year being the most googled musician and 4th most watched video in the world, combined with a tenacious work ethic, led to sold out tours across the globe and over 100 million streams.

She is known as a complex singer songwriter and emotive wordsmith, whether they are happy or sad, funny or thought-provoking, Lucy provides them with a direct link between her songs and their own life stories.

One of the most recent singles released in October of 2020, ‘Sober’ is a bare, open and exposed look at the singer, for good and for bad, having faced many struggles with alcohol and substance abuse in her life. Lucy has always been open about her struggles with her mental health and, in stark comparison to times past, Lucy has spent the last 17 months sober, and has discovered a brand new side to herself saying she has ‘more mental clarity than ever’. Her mental and physical health and wellbeing has become a huge part of who she is, and her widely followed journey was laid bare for all to see on social media.

2020 was difficult, as it has been for everyone, but for an artist like Lucy, being unable to play to the thousands of fans around the UK and abroad has been a huge blow both professionally and personally.

Sober Sips talks to Lucy about her journey to sobriety and how she is living her new sober life.
