UK singer-songwriter Lucy Kitchen has announced her forthcoming album “In The Low Light”, to be released on 27th February 2026 via Bohemia Rose Records/Make My Day Records. Following her recent summer single, ‘Red Skies’, and the solemn ‘In My Corner’, Kitchen has turned her sights towards the upcoming new album “In the Low Light” – a collection shaped by personal loss and quiet resilience.
Written in the wake of her husband’s death in October 2022, the record explores themes of loss, grief, memory, and transformation. Yet within its sorrow, there are glimpses of joy, gratitude, and rediscovery. For Kitchen, the act of creating became a lifeline; a way to process pain, honour love, and slowly reassemble herself through music. “Making this album rebuilt me more than anything else”, she says. “From the moment we started recording, I just felt this pure excitement to be creating something new with these amazing musicians. I think when you’re recording, you embody the music, and everything else falls away; so, for me, it just felt like magic. I felt like it brought me back to myself and what I love to do.”
“I can’t wait for everyone to hear the album”, she concludes. “We all lose things throughout our lives through death, endings, leavings, and I hope people find their own stories within these songs and connect with the idea that we can make beautiful things out of these events and still move forward with our dreams.”
Kitchen has just released her latest single, ‘The Boatman’. While her recent releases have explored alt-country and alt-folk territories, the new single marks a return to her more traditional folk sound. The track continuously builds, growing from intimate verses into a powerful full-band finale, raised by recordings of birdsong and the warm, vintage tones of a Hammond organ.
Kitchen explains: “With this single, I wanted to write what felt like an old folk song. I’m not sure if I achieved that, but I like how it’s a grief song but also feels slightly defiant in the face of death. I’d released an acoustic version of this on my “Stabal Sessions” EP, but really wanted to record a full-band version and go big with it.” You can listen to ‘The Boatman‘ below.
