New music video from Lycio

Birmingham-based trio Lycio has been making an impression in the UK alternative pop scene with their impressive live performances and highly original studio sound. Formed on the day of the UK referendum vote, the band has earned a reputation as a must-see act, blending pure creative energy with a forward-thinking musical vision.

With vocalist and lyricist Genie Mendez, keyboardist Charlie Kellie and drummer Alex Lowe, Lycio crafts immersive live experiences without relying on backing tracks or playback. Their approach champions a completely organic sound, ensuring that everything you experience carries the full weight of their artistic output.

Since their debut single “Saharan King” in 2017, Lycio has gone from strength to strength with several follow-up releases, gaining them a growing fan base and critical acclaim, as well as performances at major festivals such as CarFest, Big Feastival and The Great Escape Festival. Along the way, they’ve played alingside the likes of Rae Morris, YONAKA, Self Esteem and Low Island, while extensive radio support has seen them named BBC Introducing Artist of the Week.

Now, following the success of their previous single “Liquid Gold,” Lycio turn up the intensity with their latest release titled “I Feel Like Being in Love.” Marking the fourth single lifted from their upcoming debut EP Inbetween, this new track finds the band embracing a heavier, more amplified sound, revealing a new side to their sound while still retaining the distinct musical imprint that’s won over so many fans to date.

Jumping in with the crash of drums and stabbing instrumentation, Genie’s commanding vocals thread gripping melodic leads via lively, expressive delivery. Brimming with punchy alternative energy that channels gritty rock aesthetic cut with brooding pop writing, “I Feel Like Being In Love” delivers a rousing and truly anthemic sound that’s infectious and invigorating througout.

Flowing through moments of stripped back arrangement where Genie’s voice soars above, and a breakdown of stuttering synth textures, the swell of energy erupts as her vocals take flight in the finale, resulting in an engrossing listening experience from start to finish. Paired with the single is a music video created by Richard John Lardner which features the band performing the song, serving up an epic visual offering to perfectly match the charging sound of the music. With their highly anticipated debut EP on the horizon, we can’t wait to see what this incredible band has in store for the rest of 2025 and beyond.
