Just in time for Halloween, Tapwaterlucy returns with a chillingly catchy new single, ‘The Final Girl’, the debut track and lead single from her highly anticipated EP of the same name.
Known for her ability to blend humor and optimism with a hint of horror, Tapwaterlucy has taken her signature electropop sound to a thrilling new level with this release.
Inspired by her love of horror films, ‘The Final Girl’ explores the concept of fame through the lens of the classic “final girl” trope—survivor, fighter, and lone victor. This creative metaphor captures her own relentless drive and ambition, personifying her desire for success with an edgy, cinematic touch. “I took inspiration from songs you might find on a 1980s horror movie soundtrack,” Tapwaterlucy explains, “but I wanted to add my own modern twist, my own ‘Tapwaterlucy’ essence.”
Musically, ‘The Final Girl’ melds synthpop, electropop, and hyperpop, resulting in a fresh yet nostalgic track that’s both dynamic and irresistibly catchy. From her haunting vocal tones to the hypnotic synths, the song feels both deeply personal and accessible, continuing her tradition of emotionally penned, self-made music that challenges norms and embraces what could be.
Tapwaterlucy has already captured the attention of music enthusiasts and critics alike, alongside performances at prominent events such as All Points East and Good Karma Club. With airplay on BBC Introducing, Reprezent FM, and Foundation FM, her reach is quickly expanding, and ‘The Final Girl’ is sure to solidify her standing as one of electropop’s rising stars.
