The new album, "Stories From The Dust," is perhaps her most personal to date, made with GRAMMY award-winning co-producer and co-writer of most of the songs on the album, David Garza (known for work with Fiona Apple and Gaby Moreno). The tracks and melodies draw you in to Lucy's penetrating insights into questions of the heart in the world's fragile present. David and Lucy spent several weeks in downtown Los Angeles writing these stories about women, those she grew up with - strongly independent and unconventional women who raised her - and those she observed from afar, both on the playground and on the subway. "Stories From The Dust" boasts the extraordinary bass presence of Tim Lefebvre and the co-writing collaboration of Larry Goldings.

Inspired by Bill Withers and Nina Simone, Lucy added inspirations from the deep roots of Americana, blues, flamenco singing and the sounds of female vocalists Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66. "Stories From The Dust" is radical and melodic, continuing a long line of critically acclaimed albums geared toward the artistic perfection characteristic of the New York native. Other collaborations include Charlie Hunter, Pink Martini (who sings in Croatian, Turkish, Spanish, French and Japanese on short notice), several larger ensembles in Europe such as the WDR Big Band, the Danish Radio Big Band, the Frankfurt Radio Big Band and the Orchestra de la Suisse Romande. Recording/touring credits also include Rod Stewart, Snarky Puppy, Celine Dion, Charlie Hunter and Barbra Streisand.
