Never Forget

Good afternoon loves and welcome to this week's blog post. I've had another busy week, completing my first interview which should be posted sometime in the next few days! 

My main message today is, of course, in remembrance of those that lost their lives tragically 13 years ago today in the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center. I think it's safe to say everybody remembers where they were on that fateful day 13 years ago when they heard that the Twin Towers had been hit by aeroplanes in a terrorist attack. It was a terrifying moment that shook the world, and I hope that as the years go by, people never forget just how it made them feel.

At the risk of getting too political, particularly in today's current climate, I think it's easy to become desensitized to the horrors that human beings can inflict on one another. We see news of attacks, murders, rape and violence everyday and it truly is terrible. As a society today we tend towards focusing on the labels and the classification of who's harming who. But regardless of whether it's ISIS, the IRA, or Joe Bloggs who lives down the street, the tragedy will always lie in the fact that this is humans, killing humans. A fact that sometimes, I believe, gets lost in propanganda battles. 

RIP to all those who lost their lives in such a senseless and brutal attack. I cannot imagine the horror they suffered in their final moments. 

On a brighter note, I encourage all to hug your pets, phone your parents & grandparents, and tell your loved ones that you love them. You never know where each day will take you. You may not get another chance. 

On that note, I love ALL OF YOU for being there for me through this journey. I've had so much support from you guys out there which makes everything I'm doing so worth it! I hope I'm able to pay you all back someday when I'm an international pop sensation ;-P

Love & Sparkles

Music Mondays

Morning Cherubs!

So it looks like summer is officially over here in the UK :( I can feel myself adding a layer of clothing each time I go outside. BUT that doesn't mean anybody is gloomy here at Lucy Blu HQ! 

Things are currently on a decent roll for me at the moment. Writing/producing music en masse, and currently working on an interesting throwback mashup that you kids of the 90s will (hopefully) LOVE! Don't forget to keep sharing my latest vid with all your gorgeous friends & families :-) if you haven't already, you can catch it here:



In other Music Monday news, I suppose I can't get away without mentioning that this weekend saw the return of the infamous X Factor! And yes I must admit I did tune in. My favourite acts were Andrea with his fabulous rendition of MJ's 'Who's Lovin You,' (One of my FAVOURITE songs of all time FYI!) and Only The Young. As a singer I have mixed feelings over the show, but once you accept it for what it is I think it can be enjoyed. People need to remember that first and foremost it is an entertainment programme, out to secure ratings.

FINALLY for today cherubs, I'm going to be soon releasing my first official video interview. I've been getting some questions recently from my gorgeous BluBelles and figured I'd stick them all in one place so you can all get to know me a little better. 

SO if you have any questions, send them over on Twitter to @lucybluofficial quick and I'll make sure to give you a little shoutout. 

Thanks loves!

Speak soon
