LUVCAT “VAMPIRE AT THE BEACH” MUSIC VIDEO OUT NOW

HER HALLMARK SINISTER ROMANCE RETURNS IN MURDER BALLADS EP LOVEBITES OUT MAY 22

Cult starlet and acclaimed songwriter Luvcat returns with a new single, “Vampire At The Beach”, ahead of her much-anticipated forthcoming EP of murder ballads, Lovebites, out via AWAL on May 22.

The track is paired with a breathtaking video starring Luvcat opposite a dark, brooding figure. It features bathtub electrocutions and knife-throwing sequences, unfolding through imaginative, surreal visuals inspired by a gothic, vaudevillian style colliding with the modern world. Perhaps the first time a vampire sports peroxide-blonde hair and a cape with three Adidas stripes, while pebbled beach scenes evoke Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd. Watch the video below or HERE.

“Vampire At The Beach” offers a glimpse into her upcoming body of work, with each track exploring the dark intersection of death and desire through Luvcat’s signature macabre storytelling.

Speaking about the song’s inspiration, Luvcat said: “I once had this ghostly-looking lover who had this unsettling hold over me. I was almost waiting for him to bite my neck. He truly had me clamped between his teeth. We were watching a Fellini film and seeing all these golden bodies dripping with sweat on the silky rocks of an Italian beach. I was just thinking, I can’t imagine being on a summer holiday with you. You’re a vampire.”

The EP news follows the huge success of “He’s My Man”, which has reached 60 million streams. Its anniversary version, featuring legendary punk-poet Dr John Cooper Clarke, will appear on Lovebites. The release will also include the previously unheard, “Electric Chair”, featuring vocals by British indie legend and Libertine, Pete Doherty. Earlier this year, Luvcat supported Doherty across Europe, where the collaboration was born organically; Doherty would stroll onto the stage each night to add his own lyric to the song’s closing section.

Since her explosive debut single “Matador”, the Liverpool-born artist has seduced a fast-growing global fanbase with her blend of noir glamour, heart-on-sleeve vulnerability, and razor-sharp wit. 2025 saw the release of her first album, capturing a formative and fevered chapter in Luvcat’s life; from a romance with a circus ringleader to nights in Parisian bars along the Seine and impromptu sets at Brixton Windmill. The album flew to number 4 on the Official Independent Albums Chart.

Luvcat’s rise has been matched by relentless momentum onstage, with over 101 live performances across more than 25 countries in 2025, including 31 festivals, and standout appearances at Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, Radio 1’s Big Weekend, and Rock en Seine, where she opened the main stage for Chappell Roan. Last year also included sold-out headline tours across the UK, US, Europe (and even Istanbul), where tickets vanished within minutes and crowds arrived in her signature leopard print, fishnets, and red lipstick, already singing along to unreleased songs learned off by heart from bootlegged YouTube live sets. Her CV includes support slots with The Libertines and The Last Dinner Party, and she is set to open for Scottish rock legends The Waterboys. Luvcat was named among the most tipped artists for 2025 by Rolling Stone UK, Clash, Notion, Billboard UK, The Independent, and more.
