After spending a year writing and recording, the Autumn of 2000 saw the release of Hungry Lucy's debut album, "Apparitions". The album garnered much attention across the US and Europe for its combination of pop song structures, trip hop grooves and Christa's haunting vocals & other-worldly lyrics. The attention to their debut CD lead to a licensing deal with Belgian label Alfa Matrix and subsequent European release of "Apparitions:Revisited" in Fall of 2001.
After spending Spring and early summer of 2002 performing live, Hungry Lucy completed their next full length album entitled "Glo". Glo captures all the elements that Hungry Lucy are known for while continuing to explore other genres such as jazz, blues and europop. Once again, the album received critical acclaim and glowing reviews worldwide and expanded Hungry Lucy's reach to a much wider audience.
In the Summer of 2003, Hungry Lucy embarked on a tour with Pittsburgh's ThouShaltNot across the Western and Midwest regions of the United States. This gave people a chance to hear, as well as see, what Hungry Lucy is all about. True to form, Hungry Lucy delivered stunning performances along with synchronized video accompanyment. Several one-off shows in late 2003 / early 2004 (including performances with Cruxshadows & Wolfsheim) followed.
In Spring of 2004, it was time to head back into the studio and capture the new material Hungry Lucy had compiled over the preceding months. The result, Hungry Lucy"s third full-length CD, "To Kill a King" was released in Nov. 2004 to critical acclaim from both fans and the media alike, debuting at #9 on the French Alternative Charts in January, 2005. In addition to college and club DJ exposure, "To Kill a King" has been featured on Public Radio programs such as PRI's "Echoes" and the X-Star Network's "Audiosyncracies". The album brilliantly displays Hungry Lucy"s passion for musical contrast and clever songwriting for which this duo is known.
Hungry Lucy released their fourth album, "Pulse of the Earth", in 2010.
In October 2013, Christa Belle and War-N separated, disbanding Hungry Lucy.

My Beloved
Hungry Lucy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What is wrong why you're feelin' this way
Just remember when you're feelin' so down
You can always put on your crown
My beloved
Is that a tear in your eye
My beloved
My beloved
Will you walk with me
To the place
Where we can be free
Darling it's getting so late
We should go home don't tempt fate
Find it in yourself to love me again
Don't be afraid we will win
You didn't do the things that you thought
It isn't true the lies can't be bought
I understand you're feeling so cold
Stay with me as we grow old

I know you can't say
I understand that you are unable to voice out what's bothering you
What is wrong why you're feelin' this way
I want to know what's making you feel this way and how I can help
Just remember when you're feelin' so down
Please keep in mind that when you feel at your worst, I'm still here for you
You can always put on your crown
Remember that you're a strong and capable person who can overcome any challenge
My beloved
I address you with love, compassion, and respect
Is that a tear in your eye
I notice that you seem to be upset and crying
What is making you cry
Can you tell me what's causing your tears?
Will you walk with me
Will you join me on this journey called life?
To the place
Let's go to a space where we can be ourselves without any fear or judgement
Where we can be free
We can find our true selves and be free from all the burdens that weigh us down
Darling it's getting so late
We're running out of time, and we need to take action before it's too late
We should go home don't tempt fate
Let's not take any unnecessary risks that could bring us harm or danger
Find it in yourself to love me again
Please search within yourself and rediscover the love that we once shared
Don't be afraid we will win
Don't let fear stop us from achieving our goals and finding happiness
You didn't do the things that you thought
You didn't commit the mistakes that you believed you did
It isn't true the lies can't be bought
The lies that people say about us cannot be purchased, and we shouldn't let them define us
I understand you're feeling so cold
I empathize with you as you feel detached, empty, and uninspired
Stay with me as we grow old
Let our relationship mature and flourish as we age together
