Lucy Dacus covers Cher’s “Believe,” adds dates to North American tour

Lucy Dacus is in the midst of her ongoing tour supporting her excellent 2021 album Home Video, with a big NYC show happening on Thursday (7/21) at SummerStage in Central Park. That's with Hop Along, and tickets are still available.

Lucy has now expanded her tour, with new North American dates added in late September, October, and November. The new shows go on sale Friday, July 22 at noon local time, and you can see all dates below.

She's also shared a new rendition of her Home Video track "Partner in Crime." The album version is Lucy's biggest foray into autotune yet, and she strips it down for her new contribution to the Spotify Singles series, which is paired with a new cover of Cher's "Believe." Hear both below.

"I feel like some of my favorite lyrics that I’ve written are in ‘Partner in Crime’ and maybe they aren’t as noticeable because the effect takes you out of it a little bit,” Lucy says. “So, I just wanted to strip it bare and showcase the song for what it is without any tricky production moves. ‘Partner in Crime’ was partially inspired by ‘Believe,’ so I thought it’d be nice to pair them together. I love Cher’s voice and how low it gets. The timbre of her voice is so unique, you can recognize it anywhere. Even with the autotune, you can tell that it’s Cher and nobody else. But, on our cover, taking away the autotune, I feel like you can tell that the structure of the song is very special and I did feel myself accidentally wanting to become Cher when I was doing vocal takes. It could never happen, but I love a low voiced pop legend."
