A Delightful Taste of ‘Fruit Tea’ – Lucy Summerfield’s Heartwarming Single Explores the Depths of Platonic Love
Singer-songwriter Lucy Summerfield, who has written national award winning songs since her early teens has released her single Fruit Tea today.
Taking inspiration from the Rom/Com movie trope where the love interest lists endearing traits in a final grand gesture, Summerfield challenges this, saying that it’s the collective love from everyone around us that truly reflects who we are. The song emphasises the value of platonic love, celebrating the idea that all forms of love are equally profound.
Fruit Tea also subtly embraces pride themes, evident in the cheeky play on words in its title. This aspect of the song highlights the inclusivity of love and self-acceptance, making it an anthem that transcends boundaries and can be appreciated by all.
“The musical element I love the most in Fruit Tea is the harmonies. I wanted to create choral moments to reflect the communities of people that surround and see us for who we are.” Combined with Lucy Summerfield’s carefully crafted lyrics the track paints a vivid picture of affectionate moments and the unique qualities that make each person a masterpiece in their own right.
Although Fruit Tea was written with platonic love in mind, Summerfield is aware that music is open to interpretation, “If people hear a love song, I don’t want to take away from their experience with the track.” This openness and authenticity in her artistry allow each listener to connect with the song in a way that is meaningful to them.
Now that release day is finally here, Summerfield is excited to share Fruit Tea, with the world. “I think Fruit Tea has a message a lot of people need to hear. It can be so easy in our media-saturated world to think we are not worth looking at, yet everyday our friends see us and love us for who we are.” The single is a journey of embracing one’s authentic self and finding comfort in our friendships. Fruit Tea promises to be a heartfelt ode to all forms of love, radiating positivity and leaving an indelible mark on everyone who embraces its captivating melody and profound message.
