French artist Lucie Sue is set to release a new single “HUSH” on the 20th March 2025. The track is the perfect showcase for Lucie Sue – driving riffs overlaid with powerful infectious vocals. Lyrically the track is unique for the forthcoming album as it mixes English and German.
"HUSH" is the chaotic struggle of a single mother on the verge of a nervous breakdown, facing the indomitable rebellion of her children. With a quirky tone, Lucie Sue reveals her fight to be heard. A quest for which no one really has the codes. Least of all her. Because in the family ring, rules don't exist and give way to instinct. As a side note, Lucie Sue's two children have dual Franco-German nationality. To try to gain respect, she sometimes tries to have more presence y reusing the few Germanic words their father used to say to them with authority. With absolutely NO credibility coming from Lucie Sue's mouth, these "shock" phrases have become a kind of private joke.
„HUSH is meant to be taken with a pinch of salt. I've never been a perfect mother. I reject the idea of "parental sacrifice" or "compromise," which unnecessarily creates guilt. I've always prioritized autonomy: My kids know how to cook, get around, organize themselves and this upbringing has forged a strong character in them. There are sometimes clashes, they don't always obey me and we don't always agree. But in the end, it often leads to right choices." – Lucie Sue
The music video was directed by Antoine Doyen, in an abandoned 1970s hotel that has remained in its original state. It features 2 children who sow chaos and make their mother's life hell.

Welcome to Lucie Sue – a French songwriter, musician and vocalist par extraordinaire. A magnetic live performer already being embraced in her native France, with her unique musical universe and boundless energy, Lucie Sue is on her way to becoming one of the leading figures in French rock and metal. Alongside band members Mitch, Laura and Enzo, Lucie Sue is set to release her debut UK album later in 2025.
This child of the MTV generation, raised on 90s Anglo-Saxon bands, escaped to the sounds of L7, Metallica, and PJ Harvey, after her cello lessons at the Lyon National Conservatory. Passionate about visual arts, she became an accomplished art director. But, during the lockdown, she became known on social media with creative and funny cover versions, in which she plays all the instruments. This led to her composing, recording, producing and releasing her first album “To Sing In French” in 2023.
Her talent and determination are spotted by Richard Gamba, Gojira's manager for nearly 10 years, who signed her in September 2024. A rapid advancement followed – including being added to the MainStage 1 of Hellfest and signing with the European agents We Live - https://we-live.agency/.
A 13-track album is due for release later in 2025, alongside to be confirmed live dates across Europe.
