Lully‘s debut track “Slow D’s” is out today on London label Aesop.
It’s not new that some artists like to remain hidden in the shadows. Mysterious newcomer Lully is one of them. Debuting with futuristic, alien electro-pop cut “Slow D’s”, the producer pitched their vocals so hard that it’s not even possible to guess their gender. And actually, who cares? Brimming with a mix of desire and urgency, the track is what we call a captivating introduction. And to play a bit more with the mystery, the artist has also shared an accompanying poem which seems to draw inspiration from the French monarchy (Jean-Baptiste Lully was a French baroque composer writing for Louis IV). Listen and read below.
Lully, née Lulli,
Once sung for great Louis
The Sun King who outlived his sons
Lully, née Lulli,
A glut for sodomy
Fell out with the curly patron
To gain back his favour
He gave him a flavour
Of royal liturgical fun
Upon the ‘te deum’
The retinaculum
Was struck with the maestro’s baton
The song was so young
Sung only verse one
When Versailles uncomfterbly dumb’d
The gangrene untreated
Spread north through his meated
And life thereby quickly undone
Lully, dont fuss
Climb down parnassus
Come, visit this century, come
It’s anthroposceney
And Kanye Regimey
I’m sure you could light it up some
