Tapwaterlucy’s return to the music scene has arrived in the most thrilling fashion with her new single, “The Final Girl,” a track that blends her passion for horror and her drive for fame in a way that’s dark, magnetic, and irresistibly catchy. After a year-long hiatus, the artist is stepping back into the spotlight with her upcoming EP, also titled The Final Girl, and she’s setting the stage for something that feels nothing short of a pop spectacle. Known for her innovative approach to synthpop, electropop, and hyperpop, Tapwaterlucy is building an experience that feels cinematic, haunting, and mesmerizingly unique.
Her latest single, “The Final Girl,” takes inspiration from the iconic trope of the lone survivor in horror films—characters who endure challenges, overcoming villains to stand alone in victory. But Lucy, with her love for horror and deep dive into fame’s intoxicating allure, turns this classic concept into something even deeper. For her, “The Final Girl” symbolizes the tenacity required to make it in a world that can be just as thrilling and terrifying as the movies she adores. Fame here is depicted not just as a goal, but as a haunting chase where success and failure lurk around every corner, and Lucy’s vocal delivery brings this tension to life. The song is packed with pulsing beats and dramatic synths, nodding to the suspense-filled soundtracks of 1980s horror films. Yet it’s got a modern, almost futuristic edge—her distinct sound woven with influences from Charli XCX, Rina Sawayama, and even a touch of Lady Gaga’s theatrical flair.
Beyond its chilling themes, the single speaks to Lucy’s larger-than-life approach to her craft. She doesn’t just make songs; she builds worlds, turning music into an experience that feels raw and cinematic. Her visuals are just as immersive as her lyrics, creating a blend of music and visuals that’s unique in the pop and hyperpop scenes. With two groundbreaking music videos and five singles prepared to unfold through The Final Girl EP, she’s taking the genre to new heights and redefining what it means to merge visual storytelling with sonic ambition.
Tapwaterlucy’s journey isn’t just about creating catchy hooks; it’s about breaking stereotypes and pushing the boundaries of what pop can express. Her self-made ethos and collaborative spirit with close friends result in music that’s filled with personal emotion. Her songs touch on fame, love, sexuality, and empowerment with a refreshing optimism, underscoring a hopeful outlook on the world while wrapped in dark, glossy production. Each release speaks to her forward-thinking, playful approach to what pop could look like in the future.
With “The Final Girl” out now and her EP on the horizon, Tapwaterlucy is a name to watch as she ascends in the electropop world. There’s no doubt she’ll continue to surprise and inspire, captivating audiences with her unmistakable energy, haunting melodies, and fearless vision. This comeback feels like the beginning of something unforgettable, and we’re eagerly watching as she claims her place as pop’s next genre-bending star.
