THE “APOTHECARY (PT. 2)” DUE 17th APRIL
HER FIRST EVER HEADLINE EU + UK TOUR
Lusaint shares a brand new single ‘Love Bites Back’, the next instalment from her upcoming EP, “The Apothecary (Pt. 2)” out 17th April, which includes released tracks ‘Waterfalls’ and ‘Shoot You Dead.’
The new track ‘Love Bites Back’, co-written with hit maker Jonny Lattimer, makes an immediate impact, opening with powerful pop vocals that command attention from the very first line. The song explores the turbulent shift in a relationship. This emotional journey is mirrored in the song’s structure and moody, sultry tone, as well as subtle piano beneath the vocals, heightening the anticipation before the chorus fully erupts with bold pop vocals, guitar, brass, percussion and rich harmonies.
Speaking on the single, Lusaint says: “Sometimes we mistake comfort for boredom. ‘Love Bites Back’ is about finding out the hard way that stability was the real thing”
On her first ever EU & UK headline tour, Lusaint adds: “I am so excited for my first European and UK headline tour. I can’t wait to play new music from my Apothecary EP with my band across so many cities and venues.”
Lusaint’s debut EU and UK headline tour will see her play 15 dates across 4 countries this Spring, finishing with 2 UK shows in Manchester at Band on the Wall and London’s Oslo. Tickets are now on sale here.
Lusaint’s second part of her EP, “The Apothecary (Pt. 2)”, is due for release on 17th April 2026 - available to pre-sale/order here.
Growing up in Stretford, Greater Manchester, Lusaint never imagined a music career was possible. Inspired by her parents’ jazz and blues records, she started singing Ella Fitzgerald and Nina Simone covers in local bars before landing her breakout moment in 2019. Her version of En Vogue’s ‘Don’t Let Go’ became the UK’s most Shazamed song in a single day, followed by a viral take on ‘Wicked Game’ that has since surpassed 45 million YouTube views.
These moments propelled Lusaint into the spotlight, securing a record deal and the release of her 2023 debut single ‘Dark Horse’. With a timeless voice that fuses jazz, soul, and pop, she has since amassed over 250 million streams, earned widespread radio support from BBC Radio 1’s Jess Iszatt and Maia Beth, and won praise from tastemakers including Notion, Wonderland, and CLASH, with the Daily Mail hailing Lusiant as an artist to watch in 2026. Her debut EP Self Sabotage landed in September 2024, amassing over 15 million streams and cementing her as one of the UK’s hottest newcomers, leading to festival appearances at Boardmasters, The Great Escape, and Neighbourhood Festival, as well as support slots alongside RAYE, Tom Grennan, and Nia Archives.
Continuing Lusaint’s rapid rise, “Apothecary (Pt. 1)” has already passed 1.5 million Spotify streams. While single Neon Lights received four spins on BBC Radio 1, Lusaint secured the BPI MEGS Fund 2025, landed a BBC Introducing stage appearance at Old Trafford, plus performed headline shows in Italy and France, further proving her place as one of the UK’s most compelling and fast-rising stars.
