Finn & Lucas Keep Chivalry Alive

Finn & Lucas are a musical duo composed of Finn McCormack and Lucas Fassman. McCormack contributes lyrics and melody to their songwriting partnership, and vocals to their recorded music. Fassman handles harmonization and arrangement while providing piano. 

“Lovely Lady” is an infectious alchemy of vintage crooner vibes and fresh indie pop sensibilities, masterfully engineered by eleven time WAMMIE award-winning artist and producer Cletus Kennelly.

“Lovely Lady” moves gracefully with a quick shuffle beat. The roomy arrangement’s piano and drums leave ample space for the lovely layered backing vocals that echo the song’s refrain. There’s a breezy, winsome confidence in this piece, a Rat Pack gusto. 

McCormack’s vocal delivery is strong and smooth as he relates the lyrics of this love song. This is a love song’s love song - no torches, conditions, or dreaming about what may never be. “Lovely Lady” is a song about being enamored, a song about courtly love. The inventive poetry wields, as an enamored lover might, a wide range of similes and expressions to convey his affection, such as “you move like music” and “your eyes like diamonds.” There’s even one effortlessly delivered line en Español: “eres mi amor” (you are my love). Where words might fail, crisp “ba dums” add punch to “mystery” and “delight.” 

Purposeful repetition of the song’s title creates instant familiarity with this brand new pop song, aided by its timeless instrumentation and cool, big band-era vocal style. Yet for all its noble displays of chivalry and analog age attributes, the song is right at home here in the digital era.

“Lovely Lady” was released on May 13th, 2025 and the duo says there’s more on the way.
