‘She did everything with me’: Bully’s beloved dog is at the heart of her new album

The pain of losing someone important to you is hard to put into words. It can feel so overwhelming, so painful, so lonely, so much more than what you can articulate in conversation. So, instead, Bully put those feelings into music.

Bully, the performing name of Alicia Bognanno, released her album Lucky for You earlier this year, and it’s a record that explores the emotions around the passing of Mezzi, her dog and longtime companion, whom Alicia says was one of the most important relationships in her life.

But — and this might sound surprising — it’s an album that’s also a lot of fun. In this session, Bognanno talks about Mezzi, about music getting you through grief, and about how she made that music: the guitars, the gear and more.
