Lucy showcases an authentic sound from one of Kenya’s best live acts. The reggae-infused song is set to light up hearts across East Africa, especially because of how Bensoul delivers a heartfelt serenade to his love interest, with mellow yet powerful vocals.

Bensoul confirms that Lucy was inspired by a series of true events. Ahead of the release, he says, “Lucy is very relatable to most young people—it’s about a guy who is not sure about his position in the relationship but won’t stop loving.”
