Lucy Dacus has shared a new single, ‘Best Guess’, and announced a UK and European tour for later this year. Listen and find all the details below.The song is the third preview of the Boygenius member’s fourth solo album ‘Forever Is A Feeling’, which is to arrive on March 28 via Polydor/Geffen (pre-order/pre-save here).On the delicate, romantic tune, Dacus sings: “Clasping your necklace / Zipping your dress / Hands on your waist / Kissing your neck / I love your body / I love your mind / They will change / So will mine.”Telling her partner that the pair belong together in the chorus, she adds: “You are my best guess / At the future / You are my best guess / If I were a gambling man, and I am / You’d be my best bet.”‘Best Guess’ is described as Dacus’ “unique take on a love song, an anthem of queer tenderness that captures that mix of excitement and uncertainty as two people take a romantic chance with one another”.The single is accompanied by a self-directed official music video, starring Cara Delevingne, Towa Bird, MUNA‘s Naomi Mcpherson and more.
Reflecting the song’s lyrics, the visuals see Dacus and her friends gathered around a casino table.Additionally, the clip features a cast of other “hot mascs” that Dacus recruited through a social media open casting call early last month, as the musician subverts a ’90s Calvin Klein advert.
Watch here:The singer-songwriter had previously debuted ‘Best Guess’ at Julien Baker’s gig in Brooklyn last autumn.Dacus has also announced a run of UK and European shows for this summer, including a performance at the O2 Academy Brixton on June 26 – the Thursday of Glastonbury Festival 2025.
The artist is currently available to appear at Worthy Farm on the Friday, Saturday or Sunday.On Monday June 30, she’ll continue her UK trek with a gig at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall before taking to the stage at Manchester Academy (July 2) and Dublin’s Iveagh Gardens (3).
