Ski Team releases video for “Me”
Ski Team AKA: Lucie Lozinski is a singer/songwriter, producer, and guitarist, today, the multi-artist is sharing new single “Me.” “That sounds like New Jersey,” says Lozinski about the anthemic distorted guitar chorus on her single “Don’t Give Up (Yet)” out now. She writes vulnerably about her relationships with people and places. “I move a lot,” she says. “My songs usually come from being stuck somewhere—in a rut with a friend, with a boyfriend repeating the same fights, in a city that all my friends have left.”
The daughter of musicians, Lozinski grew up with a recording studio in her backyard and ample opportunities to perform, including the U.S. Open international tennis championship when she was just eight years old. She’s sung with icons like Tony Bennett and Queen Latifa as well as hometown friends Kevin Kuh (of Pool Cosby), Sam Ryan, and her brother’s band Snacks Chapman. Although Lozinski has been an unlisted vocalist on albums since her childhood, it wasn’t until she met producer Bobby Renz in San Francisco in 2019 that she readied her own music for release. The pair recorded Ski Team’s latest singles at Different Fur Records in the Mission District, which also provided the single’s cover art. “I took that picture of the dog in the car in the Mission,” explained Lozinski. “It’s such a vibe and conveys all I could ever hope to communicate about my own personality.”
After recording a series of demos in her apartment and releasing on Soundcloud, Lozinski caught the attention of LA-based producers Scott Seiver (who’s produced for the likes of Pete Yorn, Aimee Mann, and Ted Leo) and Timothy Young. In 2019 and 2020.
For her new single “Me,” Ski Team teamed up with producer Daniel Knowles (Sharon Van Etten, Cigarettes After Sex), and her own brother Ian Lozinski, as well as saxaphone player Matt Podell, who she met on hinge (the two decided to create music together instead of date) to create the intoxicating musical offering. She shares, “The song is about the struggle of adjusting someone’s role in your life, or your own role to them, and giving up control in that process. I guess it’s about realizing if you have to assign roles, maybe it’s not as special as you think. And like challenging this idea of roles being the whole of someone’s identity. It’s scary to not know who’s on your roster, or who you are without a particular person/job/trait/whatever, and just go forth into life’s abyss as a human, but it’s often better for everyone involved to get on with it. Pick yourself up, focus on yourself, and let everything and everyone else kind of settle around you.”
