At 18, she had created two songs that bookended a major feature film that also included the artistry of Annie Lennox, Feist, Little Dragon, Goldfrapp, and KT Tunstall, among others, all with the blessing of Mick Jagger. Again, within the week she delivered a song that won the spot for the opening sequence as well. 'Who is this girl?'Ī few weeks after delivering the end credit, I went to Lucy again just to see if she might have any ideas for the opening credit. That question has been put to me many times since that moment.

Within a week she sent me a new original demo which I shared with the director.

I decided to pass along a copy of the rough cut to Lucy. As the music supervisor, I had been approaching the finest female artists in the world in search of the perfect end credit for the film, with no success. One of our producers on the project was Mick Jagger. Then I had the pleasure of working on a feature film with writer/director Diane English. I had to check the writing credits on a couple of the songs ('June' and 'Paper Plane') just to be sure I wasn't listening to a cover of an old standard.

The first time I heard her I was listening to a full album of songs she'd written at 16 or 17 years old. But upon closer examination, there's something more afoot.įirst of all, consider the quality of the songwriting. On the surface, she may appear to some as simply another singer/songwriter, girl at the piano.
