Sondre Lerche - Please
Mona Records, 2014
Engineer (track: Lucky Guy)
“Lerche croons politely on “Lucky Guy”, soap opera cellos stirring at his back. “I won’t lie, baby, you broke me/ I am truly a lucky guy,” he continues in what’s perhaps the most sanguine breakup song in recent memory. He sounds like he’d be a perfect ex…”
- Consequence of Sound
“Lerche gets sweeter - and certainly more bittersweet - in “Lucky Guy”…
- NPR Music
“‘Lucky Guy’ then completes this thought, with Lerche pulling off a rare kind of lyrical feat: a love song for a breakup. (He told Refinery29 that it's ‘probably the best love song [he's] ever written.’)”
