Amidst a run of sold out UK/EU headline dates, UK’s Luvcat is here to bring us her alluring new single “Love and Money'”. Since first single ‘Matador’ in 2024, Luvcat has gained a strong cult following, leading to support slots for the likes of The Last Dinner Party and Paris Paloma, as well as selling out a run of UK dates.
Heavily inspired by Tom Waits and The Cure, Luvcat’s unique sound blends smoky mystery with a hint of playfulness. Raised in Liverpool, but having honed her sound on the South London pub circuit and in the underground nightclubs of Paris, Luvcat’s tales of passionate romances and raw heartbreak have placed her on a multitude of Ones To Watch lists including Spotify, Amazon Music, Grammy.com, NME, Independent, Rolling Stone UK, DIY, DORK and Wonderland – to name just a few!
Latest track “Love and Money” follows previous single “Dinner @ Brasserie Zédel”, telling the story of shooting a NSFW video with a lover in order to fund their adventurous rendezvous.
Of the Valentine’s Day release, Luvcat said:
“”Love & Money” is a love letter to a Pam and Tommy-style passionate, all-consuming romance in the city. I wrote it after meeting a bartender at a pub, falling in love at first sight and having a never-ending night of mischief in London.”
The accompanying music video sees Luvcat starring alongside a real-life former flame, recreating scenes from her past alongside nods to classic romantic movies like Candy, Notting Hill and Once.
“We filmed in all my old haunts and tried to capture the chaos of two naive scousers living a beautiful, sleazy love story in London”.
Fans of Chappell Roan will definitely want this one on their radar, with an infectious pop beat that begs to be heard live. The lyrics are quick to pick up on from the first listen, captivating the listener with both Luvcat’s passionate lyricism and sultry tones. Check it out below!
