Luvcat – Vicious Delicious
Today, rising UK artist Luvcat announces her anticipated debut album, Vicious Delicious, set for release on October 31 via AWAL. Leading the charge is the title track and new single, “Vicious Delicious”, out now alongside a lavishly surreal music video co-directed by Luvcat herself—a theatrical fever dream of Morticia Addams, Moulin Rouge and manic, magnetic love.
A vaudevillian stomp of unhinged devotion, “Vicious Delicious” is Luvcat at her most unapologetically bold. A glitter-soaked ode to addiction, power play, and bad romances you just can’t quit. Blending smoky Parisian cabaret with British bite and a wink of rock’n’roll melodrama, it’s a masterclass in theatrical pop, as Luvcat explains:
“Vicious Delicious is a song about a terrible man who tasted like heaven. He was moreish, magnetic, devilishly handsome and danced like Fred Astaire. A true hedonist with a black eye to match. I was thinking a lot about Sid & Nancy at the time.. dangerous, intoxicating love. WARNING: do not fall for a man in band.”
Vicious Delicious promises to be a whirlwind ride through love, lust and the lunacy in between. Written between Parisian escapades, impromptu studio sessions, and whirlwind romances, the record fuses dark fairytale storytelling with prowling jazz, punk romanticism, and a splash of gothic sparkle. From fan-favourite murder ballads (“He’s My Man”) to sex-tape serenades (“Love & Money”) to the delicious danger of the title track, it’s a no-holds-barred debut from an artist quickly becoming a cult icon.
Speaking on her debut, Luvcat adds:
“Making this album happened accidentally. Amongst the madness of the last year I decided I didn’t wanna fuck around with EPs or mixtapes. I really wanted to make my first proper statement and when I found out Halloween fell on a Friday, I knew we had to be fast to get it together. Its lipsticks a little smudged and its stockings are a little torn, but I am so proud of how we’ve captured this strange, magical story and all the lovers and libertines I’ve met along the way. I think the record is old school romance slightly off its hinges. A swinging pendulum between love and addiction, ecstasy and melancholy, eroticism and innocence, the deliciously vicious and the viciously delicious.”
Since her explosive debut with “Matador,” Luvcat has seduced a fast-growing global fanbase with her intoxicating mix of noir glamour, heart-on-sleeve vulnerability and razor-sharp wit. In just over a year, she’s racked up 30M+ career streams across five singles, sold out tours across the UK, EU, and U.S., and amassed a devoted following who dress like her, quote her lyrics, and travel continents to be part of the myth.
Today’s announcement also lands alongside the news of a huge UK, EU and US tour run in celebration of the album.
