Some might say that the word "newcomer" would be more appropriate in the headline. After all, French artist Luc Bruyère alias Lucky Love hasn't even released his debut album yet. Well, that may be true: But anyone who has seen Lucky Love live even once, or knows the poignant documentary "Lucky" about his life and art, knows: this guy is one hell of a pop star. In the film by Loren Denis and Anthony Vibert, Bruyère says: "I was my mother's heart's desire. My disability was not visible on the ultrasound images. When they found out, her world collapsed." Bruyère was born with only one arm and at some point thought: So what?
Searching, burning inside, reflecting and becoming ever more beautiful, Bruyère has already lived a thousand lives at the age of 27 with the euphoria of a rock star and the modesty of a poet. This unique artist has many talents: he is an actor, dancer, screenwriter, model and singer. Renowned brands such as Saint Laurent and Vivienne Westwood have already collaborated with Luc.
Lucky Love's first musical work joins the sound of David Bowie, James Blake, Antony and the Johnsons and even Edith Piaf. He navigates his sound perfectly between electronic music, French chanson and futuristic scores. Lucky Love takes us on an intimate journey through his life and experiences, crossing boundaries and exposing himself deeply. His ballad "Masculinity" in particular, which he released under the name Lucky Love, should be heard by every man - whether queer, straight or otherwise. In a dramatic voice, he asks: "What about my masculinity? / What the fuck is wrong with my body? / Am I not enough? / Who gives you the right to run the rules?" Lucky Love once said about the song and the thoughts behind it: "Performing as a woman during my drag queen days is really what made me a man. I don't expect acceptance from others, I take it".
This dazzling, dramatic life, his charisma, his impressive voice and his songwriting talent merge into the Lucky Love persona. The radio edit of "Masculinity" has just been released and last year the gospel-tinged "Now I Don't Need Your Love", which is crying out for the big stage. The EP "Tendresse " - also created in 2023 - also shows the tender side: In the duet "Toutes Mes Vérités" with Juliette Armanet and in the modernly produced, somnambulistic "Paradise". Lucky Love is coming back to his long-time adopted home of Berlin for a show: on November 25, he will be playing at Hole 44 in Berlin.
