Supa Lucia’s pens a high-octane Disco inferno on single, "Heatwave"
If you’ve been craving a Studio 54-style anthem to keep the summer alive (or to get it started early), look no further—Supa Lucia’s Heatwave is pure disco ecstasy, wrapped in shimmering harmonies, infectious grooves, and the kind of high-energy funk-laced pop that could set even the most stubborn dance floors ablaze.
As a debut, Heatwave isn’t just an introduction—it’s a statement of intent. Melbourne’s newly formed Supa Lucia arrives guns blazing, armed with stacked, 70s-style singalong harmonies, a wall of sound production, and a pulsating rhythm section that refuses to quit. The song serves as the perfect encapsulation of a "summer of lust" romance—sultry, electric, and utterly irresistible.
At the heart of Heatwave is the band’s double vocal attack, with Cat Woodfield and Jade Chantrell delivering silky, commanding performances that feel tailor-made for both neon-lit dance clubs and late-night car rides with the windows down. Their interplay is seamless, floating effortlessly over the track’s deep, funky basslines and shimmering guitar licks. Add in the relentless groove from Wesley Fuller’s percussive wizardry and Phill Leggett’s slick guitar work, and you have a track that radiates energy from start to finish.
Production-wise, Heatwave is an absolute powerhouse. It’s rich, layered, and dripping in that glossy, disco-tinged magic, yet it still feels modern and fresh. The mix is tight, punchy, and undeniably danceable, with each element—from the rhythmic synths to the swirling harmonies—perfectly balanced. It’s a nostalgic nod to disco’s golden era, but with a contemporary edge that makes it feel just as at home on today’s playlists as it would have been in a 1978 New York nightclub.
With Heatwave, Supa Lucia has set the bar high for what’s to come in 2025. If this is just the beginning, then we’re in for one hell of a dance party. Disco never died—it just needed a band like Supa Lucia to bring it back to life.
