Lucinda Poy Reveals New Single ‘Selling Out’

Emerging Boorloo/Perth indie talent Lucinda Poy has dropped her second single, Selling Out, a poignant track that captures the emotional tug-of-war between pursuing dreams and the demands of everyday life. Released today, Selling Out builds on the success of her February debut, Just Fine, which has drawn impressive online streams and established Poy as a powerful new voice with introspective storytelling.

At just 19, Poy already boasts an impressive resume, including winning Best Original Song at the 2022 Wynnum Fringe Festival and performing at high-profile events like Brisbane’s Gabba stadium and on Channel 7’s telethon. Her latest single, produced by WA’s Dylan Ollivierre (The Money War, EDIE, Joan & The Giants), showcases Poy’s captivating vocal style, layering gentle guitars, soft percussion, and intimate, heartfelt lyrics.

Written after a taxing day working in hospitality, Selling Out explores Poy’s struggles with self-doubt and the conflict between following her music passion or sticking with a stable job.

“I remember the feeling of walking out onto the main street after a late night shift. It’s empty, strewn with rubbish, and you would be the only person there. Feeling like you’re stuck in the same job, in the same place, while everyone moves on with their lives. I felt that I was selling myself short with the decisions I made.” – Lucinda Poy. 

Selling Out sees Poy demonstrate remarkable depth and maturity, cementing her status as an artist to watch and delivering a single that is as raw and reflective as it is beautifully composed. It’s available now, everywhere.
