Love & Money‘ is out now, buy/stream it here.

Spellbinding Liverpool singer-songwriter Luvcat is pleased to present her new single ‘Love & Money’, amid a run of sold-out UK dates. LISTEN + WATCH HERE.

A track about shooting a NSFW video with a lover in order to fund their adventures; ‘Love & Money’ pairs the wide-eyed abandon of an indie coming-of-age flick with the knowing wink to camera which has ignited Luvcat’s rapidly intensifying fanbase over the course of three early releases.

“Love & Money is a love letter to a Pam and Tommy-style passionate, all-consuming romance in the city,” Luvcat says of the Valentines Day release. “I wrote it after meeting a bartender at a pub, falling in love at first sight and having a never-ending night of mischief in London.”

The accompanying music video sees Luvcat starring alongside a real-life former flame, recreating scenes from her past alongside nods to classic romantic movies like Candy, Notting Hill and Once. “We filmed in all my old haunts and tried to capture the chaos of two naive scousers living a beautiful, sleazy love story in London”.

A run of UK/EU headline dates are currently underway, dates which – true to every one of Luvcat’s performances since the arrival of last year’s debut single – sold out instantly. An avid online following and a plethora of Ones To Watch inclusions [Spotify, Amazon Music, Grammy.com, NME, Independent, Rolling Stone UK, DIY, DORK and Wonderland to name a few] have only substantiated what many of us already knew: 2025 is the year of the ‘Cat.

‘Love & Money’ arrives on the heels of recent single ‘Dinner @ Brasserie Zédel’, the cinematic murder ballad ‘He’s My Man’ and debut offering ‘Matador’; all of which have seen snowballing popularity since their respective arrivals across the latter half of 2024.

Raised in Liverpool but made somewhere between the South London pub circuit and the underground clubs of Paris, Luvcat is a project which sees generation-spanning influences [ref. her The Cure-inspired moniker] coalescing with noirish mystique, twisted romance and chic à la parisienne aesthetics. The live ensemble is completed by a band of close friends that Luvcat has met along her journey thus far, each of whom leave their own mark on the project’s musical output.

From the first moment that candid footage of Luvcat’s early pub shows found its way online, there was a palpable sense that something of note was brewing here. Once inaugural single ‘Matador’ officially entered the world in summer 2024, the organic, cultish community cultivating around the project were already filling grassroots venues on both sides of the UK’s North-South divide.

Fresh from the sticky stages of independent venues, Luvcat made her London festival debut at All Points East in 2024 before October saw her returning to Paris – the city of Luvcat’s first ever show – for Supersonic and sharing the stage with Pulp, St Vincent and Primal Scream at Tokyo’s Rockin’on Sonic Festival in January. These moments bookended support runs with both The Last Dinner Party and Paris Paloma as well as headline performances in London, Manchester and Brighton; all of which, as you might have guessed, sold out immediately.

From her early support across both BBC 6Music and Radio 1, listeners of either station will already be familiar with the rumour that Luvcat took an early leave from education to run away with the circus. This was to be a sign of things to come in regards to the headstrong sense of adventure which saw her touring with The Waterboys as a teenager and – in another chapter entirely – took her to the velvet-upholstered hotel suites of Paris, adorned with forays to the Moulin Rouge and a short stop in the back of a Parisian Police car.
