Why Lucy Bedroque’s New Album c is My Unofficial Study Soundtrack

Sophie Nieto Soto | Writer

Between college applications, endless homework, and basically zero free time, my brain is usually running on 1% battery and pure stress. So when my favorite underground artist, Lucy Bedroque, dropped their new 15-track album, c, I honestly didn't expect it to end up at the top of my study playlist.

If you haven't heard it yet, c is a super aggressive, loud, and experimental album. It’s an intense mix of heavy rap, heavenly metal vocals, and completely blown-out, distorted beats. Songs like "ALL SPEAKERS GO TO HEAVEN" and "PEACE AND PANDEMONIUM" sound like pure chaos on the first listen.

But weirdly enough? It sounds like heaven on earth to me.

When you're trying to pull an all-nighter or lock in at the library, typically lofi study beats can get extremely boring. Well, at least for me. Lucy Bedroque’s music doesn't try to fake calm you down. Instead, it creates this crazy surge of adrenaline that matches the exact energy I need. The heavy wall of sound blocks out every possible distraction that may surround me. It feels raw, unpolished, and insanely refreshing.

It’s definitely not for everyone, and it’ll probably shock you at first. You might even hate it. But if you need something high energy, or want to give a new genre a try, give c a listen.
