Olivia Rodrigo has unveiled the 13-song tracklist for her third album 'You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love'

Lucia & The Best Boys have teamed up with The Last Dinner Party’s Abigail Morris for new single ‘Big Romance’, the latest preview of forthcoming album ‘Picking Petals’.

Out now via Communion Records, the song arrives alongside a video directed by Sal Redpath featuring both artists. It follows a run of recent live dates including appearances at The Great Escape, Get Together and Dot to Dot Festival.

‘Big Romance’ has been years in the making for Lucia Fairfull, who says Morris played a key role in keeping the track alive.

“She’s the one who pushed me to keep going with the song,” Fairfull explains. “I started writing that when I was 22. It’s lived through so many different lives.”

The collaboration also reconnects the pair’s long-running friendship. Before forming The Last Dinner Party, Morris played keyboards for Lucia & The Best Boys on several Scottish dates.

“Being able to share these experiences with other women who understand where you're at, what you're doing, it's really empowering,” says Fairfull.

‘Big Romance’ features on ‘Picking Petals’, due 31st July. Produced with Yves Rothman at Mogwai’s Castle of Doom studio in Glasgow, the album also includes previous singles ‘Lonely Girl’ featuring Lauren Mayberry and ‘You Look Like Somebody In Love’.

Lucia & The Best Boys will support the album with their biggest headline shows to date later this year, including a hometown date at Glasgow Barrowland.
