Hello there! HAPPY ALBUM RELEASE WEEK. There's so much I want to say about Loverboy Lucian, but I feel like I already wrote what I want to say within the physical copies of the album's linear booklet. So I've imported all of that here for you to read before anyone picks up a physical copy this Friday. I myself have not physically held the album in my hands yet, but I will soon. Even if you're not listed here, please know that I love you dearly. Some relationships in my life have grown over the last few weeks and these credits were turned in 2 months ago. There's always room for more in loverboy deluxe⦠lol. That's a conversation for another day. Anyways, thank you for all your love and support. Thank you for loving Finally Me and Aim For The Heart. Please if you're in SF or know of anyone who's free on a Friday niight, let them know that Roy & The Loverboys are playing at The Faight at 8pm. My boys, our guest musicians, and opening acts, we've all worked so hard on this show and it would mean a lot if we have a beautiful audience present. With that said, next time I see you, it will be Friday and the album will be yours. But until then, heres some words from me, loverboy lucianā¦

Prelude
I first started writing this album in October 2022. I was on location in Boston for the production of āWhere It Beganā. I was experiencing a lot of new things and feeling feelings I havenāt yet experienced in my lifetime. Through that period of processing what I was going through, I was unknowingly blossoming into something and someone different from who I have grown to know over the last couple of years. Since I was a kid, I grew up on r&b and soul music. I always planned to explore more of that musical side of myself. I didnāt know when, but I knew it was coming. I never thought it would be for this album. The more that I kept writing and the more that I kept falling in love, it grew into this r&b, pop, disco, spectacle. Through my trust with my producer and big brother Ben, we ventured into uncharted waters creating a world so vastly different from the foundation of our last album. Thereās no way we could have made this album without our experience making the āRoyā record. We needed that level of trust to bring this to life. We had one rule, no sad songs and no negative vibes. We wanted an album that was carefree, fun, and joyful. I had this urge and craving to level up my life in EVERY way. Through this album I accomplished what I set out to do. When Boston came around I let myself fall like the beautiful autumn leaves that surrounded me. I surrendered to what I was feeling. I always thought I was writing an album about falling in love with someone on levels I never felt before. It took me all the way to the very end of production on this album to see that while I may have drawn inspiration from my experiences, this album was never about anyone else but ME. Boys can be dreamy, but they are not the sun, I AM THE SUN. My heart was never broken post does your girlfriend know? Instead a fire was lit under me to shine brighter than I ever thought I could. This album has brought me so much joy. It renewed my love for creating music. I re-fell in love with writing through this process. I re-fell in love with singing through these lyrics. Post the release of āRoyā, I felt lost as an artist. Through this album I have never felt so at home within my voice, my lyrics, my body, my heart, and my soul. It continues to heal my brokenness in joyful ways that only songs like āAim For The Heartā or āFinally Meā could bring. I look in the mirror and I finally see myself. After all this time, itās good to feel at home again. Iāve always said loverboy lucian needed roy, but roy needed loverboy more. Iām so glad that through this new part of me, we will now have each other, forever and alwaysā¦
