Black Diamonds Records is excited to announce the “Beyond Now” EP from the Berlin-based synth-pop band, Lucie & the Robot. The title track is classic synth-pop, reminiscent of early Chromatics or Ladytron, but with their own distinct sound of Lucie’s sweet, confessional vocals, idiosyncratic synth hooks, and danceable beat.
Acclaimed house music veteran, Joyce Muniz, adds a driving melodic house remix to the EP with an upbeat treatment which perfectly contrasts Lucie’s dreamy vocals with trippy synth lines and edgy beats. As always, Joyce delivers another irresistible track that will call you to the dancefloor.

“Beyond Now”
Beyond Now was written from a place where it feels as if we can only look into the world through a wall of glass. As if, existing within a vacuum, we feel prevented from moving on from the past to be fully present in the now and striving for a future that we cannot reach.
The main idea for Beyond Now emerged during a collaborative Songwriting session with Lucie, Hannes and Paul. Lucie had just emerged from an unhealthy relationship and wrote the lyrics from this feeling of being stuck in the gaps between past, present and future.
About Lucie & the Robot
Lucie & The Robot is a Live-Band founded by Berlin based Singer-Songwriter and Producer Lucie (a.k.a Lucia VOX). In 2019, Lucie brought drummer Paul Richter and Keyboardist Hannes Marget together to perform her songs live. Lucie had a background in jazz, classical music and experimental improvisation; Paul in indie rock and new wave (​Pink Turns Blue​); and Hannes in jazz and electronic music. In spite of this diversity, the three artists were united by their appreciation for simplicity and space in music. This shared vision inspired the band to jointly compose new songs, which Lucie produces in collaboration with Hannes and other producers.
Lucie’s musical journey began with a traditional education in classical music and jazz during her childhood and teenage years. As a trained singer and violinist, Lucie has developed a strong intuition for melodies. In her early twenties, she used this skill to create various improvisation-based projects in the contexts of electroacoustic music (​Lucia Fields​), and musical performance theater (​Die Ratgeber​). The introspective tools of improvisation have helped Lucie discover why she wants to be a songwriter. Her goal is to tell the stories that take place beneath the surface - the events that only happen inside the world of our hearts and minds, where they seem isolated and secretive. Lucie’s lyrics open the gates to these hidden stories. Lucie’s songwriting is informed by her eclectic tastes. She is just as much a fan of 90s trip hop artists like Björk and Sia and 80s synth pop bands like Depeche Mode as she loves contemporary experimental producers such as Arca and Flying Lotus. Inspired by her experience of becoming a producer in 2015, Lucie has turned into an avid enthusiast of modern pop music. Today she considers herself a fan of artists like Sevdaliza or the German singer Mine, who fascinate her with their meaningful lyrics and tasteful pop arrangements.
