Band on the Wall, 14 Apr 2026
Lusaint’s second EP, the Apothecary (pt.1), was released in August 2025. Blending jazz, neo-soul, pop and more, the music feels born from smoky jazz clubs and Lusaint describes the 4 track EP as a collection of songs about “heartbreak, healing, and starting over,” a natural progression from her previous work, Self Sabotage.
Leading the EP is the glorious single ‘Summertime’, a blissful slice of bright pop-soul that feels instantly timeless. It was written during a four-week stint writing aboard a house boat in London’s Maida Vale. “This boat was so hot,” she remembers with a smile. “It was 35 degree heat and I’ve never been so uncomfortable in all my life, but I decided that I wasn’t going to leave this boat until I got the songs that I wanted, because I was feeling so inspired.”
Lusaint endured a further wrath of live performances in 2025, including key festival appearances like Montreux Jazz Festival, Jazz A Vienne, Theatre Elisabethain, Les Enfants Du Jazz Festival, The Hundred (BBC Introducing) and Hit The City Festival. As well as adding to her existing stellar list of support artists, Lusaint opened the stage for the likes of Michael Kiwanuka, Kimberose, Robert Plant, JP Cooper and finishing with a twenty four date European & UK support tour for Calum Scott.
