Chris Martin Seems Nice, But Coldplay Make Me Feel Carsick: Lucy 2026

Lucy Beaumont, the comedian known for her sharp wit, reveals her honest playlist, admitting that Coldplay makes her feel carsick, while the Stone Roses changed her life. In this exclusive interview, she shares the songs that define her, from childhood favorites to funeral picks, offering a candid look at her musical taste.

Lucy Beaumont's Musical Journey: From Hull to Hard House

Growing up in Hull, Lucy's first musical love was 'Caravan of Love' by the Housemartins, a band also from her hometown. She recalls, "I think I mainly liked it because my granny and grandad had a caravan in their garden that I used as a wendy house." This early connection to music set the stage for a diverse and evolving taste.

As a teenager, she was into hard house, but then she heard the first Stone Roses album. "It was like nothing I’d heard before," she says, describing the opening bars of 'Waterfall' as "rock'n'roll, but also feel so spiritual." This album had a massive effect on her, steering her musical direction.

The Songs That Define Lucy: From Coldplay to Ed Sheeran

Lucy's playlist is full of contradictions. She can't listen to anything by Coldplay, especially 'Yellow', due to a visceral reaction. "It’s not them – Chris Martin seems like a nice guy – but there’s something about the tone that makes me feel carsick." Yet, she secretly loves Ed Sheeran's 'Supermarket Flowers', a song about his grandmother, which she finds lovely but would never admit to publicly.

Her party pick is Stevie Wonder's 'Superstition', and she knows every lyric to TLC's 'Waterfalls' after learning the rap at age 12. For a morning boost, she turns to Primal Scream's 'Movin' on Up', perfect for a hangover. And for a good cry, Pink Floyd's 'Wish You Were Here' always gets her, as it's been played at funerals and explains life.

Karaoke and Funeral Picks: Lucy's Honest Choices

Lucy has never done karaoke and never will, but if forced, she'd choose Nancy Sinatra's 'These Boots Are Made for Walkin''. For her funeral, she hasn't specified, but her choices reflect her eclectic taste and emotional depth.
