“Intergalactic” - Lucy Robinson

Lucy Robinson’s latest single Intergalactic is what happens when empathy finally grows a backbone. It’s tender, but it’s not timid. It’s dreamy, but it doesn’t drift away. Instead, it hovers — glimmering and resolute — over that emotional grey area between kindness and self-preservation.
Hailing from County Down and steadily carving her place across the UK and Ireland’s alt-acoustic-pop scene, Lucy has already proven she’s more than a “one to watch.” With Intergalactic, she firmly steps into her own orbit. The track is the fourth single from her upcoming six-song vinyl EP A Wee Hand, and it feels like the project’s emotional core — a song that reaches for the stars while keeping its feet planted firmly in the messy terrain of human connection.
From the first shimmering synth swell, you can tell this one’s special. Lucy’s voice — warm, soulful, and flecked with the slightest rasp — floats over lush production that balances organic textures and digital polish. It’s that signature Lucy Robinson blend: acoustic intimacy meets dreamy electronica, like Maggie Rogers if she’d grown up on the Irish coast with Lowden guitars and a bit of salt in her lungs.
Lyrically, Intergalactic is a quiet rebellion. It’s for the people who say yes too much, the ones who’ve mistaken patience for passivity, and the ones learning that setting boundaries isn’t cruelty — it’s self-respect. “It’s an ode to the doormats,” Lucy has said, but it’s really a song about transformation.
The chorus shimmers with cosmic metaphors — stars colliding, galaxies spinning — but it’s Lucy’s down-to-earth sincerity that grounds it. She makes the universal feel personal, and the personal feel cosmic. There’s a line between vulnerability and strength, and she walks it gracefully here.
Production-wise, the track is a small masterclass in restraint. The rhythm section hums softly beneath cascading synths, while Lucy’s layered vocals build from a whisper to a euphoric glow. Around the halfway mark, the song gently lifts off — not a massive drop, but a steady ascent into an atmosphere of self-acceptance and clarity.

It’s no wonder Lucy has been tipped as “Next Big Thing” by Crash Records. She’s got that rare combination of authenticity and ambition — the grounded confidence of someone who knows where she’s going, and the humility of someone who remembers where she came from.
And she’s not slowing down. With BBC Introducing features, headline shows, a royal performance at the Dubai Expo, and festival appearances from Beat Herder to Live at Leeds, Lucy’s trajectory is nothing short of stellar. Her upcoming autumn tour — with stops in Dublin, Belfast, and Leeds — promises to be her biggest yet, and Intergalactic is the perfect launchpad.
In a world that often confuses loudness for confidence, Lucy Robinson’s Intergalactic is a reminder that quiet strength can still shake the sky. It’s a song that glows softly but leaves an afterburn.
