Lucette on the new single: "'Too Soon For Sorry' is a classic tale of undervaluing someone while you have them. It’s about wanting them even more in the aftermath of a break up. Hearing their name through casual acquaintances, over cigarettes outside of the bar, and wishing they were there instead of hearing how they’re doing from a stranger. I think a lot of us have been there. It's about admitting when you're the problem in a breakup, wishing you could fix it, but knowing it’s too soon to heal that wound, and too soon for sorrys."
"Too Soon For Sorry" follows the Canadian singer-songwriter's two previous singles – a pedal-steel-filled boot-stomper filtered through a slacker-pop lens called “Back in the Blue” (feat. Mariel Buckley), and “Heading for the End,” which finds Lucette (aka Lauren Gillis) living in the complexity of being human while still resisting people pleasing stereotypes. Expanding the musical inclinations she first began exploring on her acclaimed 2019 release Deluxe Hotel Room, Nice Girl From the Suburbs is brimming with self-awareness and a sense of shared humanity. The six-song EP mixes self-pity with clever self-deprecation, as the wry observer in Lucette turns her sharply intuitive eye onto herself.
A native of Alberta, Canada, Lucette initially captured attention when she released her 2014 Dave Cobb-produced debut Black is the Color, with NPR Music naming her a must-see act. Her follow-up Deluxe Hotel Room was produced by Grammy-winning artist Sturgill Simpson and garnered praise from Paste, NPR Music, Billboard and Rolling Stone, who called it “a bold expansion of Lucette’s melodic sensibilities with arrangements that avoid the rootsy cliches of Americana music.” Nice Girl From The Suburbs further expands those sonic influences as Lucette pulls from ‘90s dream pop and alt rock, while still remaining wholly present and relevant for these anxiety-inducing times.
