< Return to the Soundtrack
Having sung her way to Asia, Europe and the “Tonight Show,” Lucy Woodward’s sound continues to evolve on her album, Lucy Woodward Is…Hot & Bothered. Drawing from early inspirations as varied as Peggy Lee and Hoagy Carmichael to David Bowie and the soundtrack to “The Jungle Book,” Lucy’s breathy vocal style is as timeless as the songs she writes and performs. With a composer/conductor father and an opera-singing musicologist mother, it’s no mystery where Lucy got her talent.
Raised on a healthy diet of Middle-Eastern music and “La Boheme,” when Lucy was in high school, her family moved to the Bronx in New York City. The first songs she recorded were in the House music genre. She found singing that kind of music to be liberating, and she began to write her own songs. Now an award-winning songwriter, Lucy has written and recorded songs for several film soundtracks including Disney’s “Ice Princess,” “What A Girl Wants,” “First Daughter” and “Accepted.” Recently signed to Verve Records, Lucy is working on an as-yet-untitled new album due for release in May 2010.
