The effervescent and sparkling single, “Ice Cream” by mental health advocate Lucy & La Mer features a playful ukulele and frank look into anxiety.
Beneath the cheerful ukulele melody lies a poignant revelation of inner turmoil, creating a captivating juxtaposition that defines the infectious charm of “Ice Cream.”
On the song, Lucy says,
As an anxious person, I’m constantly overthinking in relationships. Like, what if they find out that I’m not what they thought? What if I get insecure and sabotage the whole thing?!” When someone with anxiety falls in love, it’s like this new wonderful thing… that you now get to worry about constantly.
Yet, it is Lucy’s voice that truly shines in this song. She serves as the linchpin in this delicate balancing act, seamlessly uniting the ukulele’s melodies and the introspective lyrics. Her soothing and emotionally sincere vocals act like interlocking puzzle pieces, weaving together the song’s elements into a harmonious whole.
