Breathe In

Lucie Silvas

Mercury

WE SAY

This was our choice for first single off Lucie's excellent album (we also ended up loving Mercury's choice - What You're Made Of - which went top ten so worked rather well). Once again written with Judie Tzuke and produced by Mike Peden, Breathe In is probably her most instant track, and the easiest to programme on the radio. Welcome shades of Fleetwood Mac in there as well. This should break big.
