After posting fliers in several cities, singer-songwriter drops newest song

Days after Lucy Dacus teased fans by posting flyers in cities advertising a “Kissing Lessons” hotline, she’s finally dropped the track of the same name.

Complete with a video of a pre-teen dancing around her bedroom in a feather boa and killing time with a Gameboy, “Kissing Lessons” kicks off with a crunchy guitar riff and Dacus’ vocals. The track was recorded during the sessions for her recent album Home Video, a time capsule of the songwriter’s upbringing in Richmond, Virginia.

“Kissing Lessons” follows Dacus’ “Thumbs Again,” a full-band version of “Thumbs.” Both singles will be released as a seven-inch single, out June 3.

Dacus will be featured on Third Man’s upcoming Vault Package of Carole King in Central Park. The live 1973 show will be accompanied by her covers of “Home Again” and “It’s Too Late.” She’ll have a Central Park show of her own on July 21, with Hop Along serving as the opener. She’ll continue touring behind Home Video on Feb. 9.

Dave East and Harry Fraud are preparing to release their new album, Price Of Pain, which is shaping up to be one of the year’s strongest joint projects. The record features an impressive lineup of guest artists across its tracklist, including Benny The Butcher on the new song "Everything Is Up." The single once again highlights the natural chemistry Dave East and Harry Fraud have developed through their many collaborations. They continue to work seamlessly together, delivering sharp production and confident verses throughout the track. Benny also adds a powerful guest performance that fits perfectly with the sound East and Fraud have created.
