Review

Lizzy McAlpine's 'Give Me a Minute' is like a warm hug for your ears. This indie folk gem dropped in August 2020, and it's been tugging at heartstrings ever since. The album's got this cozy, cottage-in-the-woods vibe that just makes you want to curl up with a cup of tea and your feelings.

McAlpine's soft vocals and mellow guitar work are the real stars here, thanks to the stripped-back production that lets her storytelling shine. Tracks like 'To the Mountains' and 'Means Something' hit you right in the feels, exploring everything from wanting to escape a toxic relationship to the nervous excitement of new love. And let's talk about 'Pancakes for Dinner' - it's like a musical comfort food, serving up those simple, sweet moments we all crave in love.

What sets 'Give Me a Minute' apart is its hopeful tone. Sure, it dives into some heavy stuff - breakups, healing, the whole emotional rollercoaster - but it never leaves you feeling down and out. Instead, it's like chatting with a friend who's been through it all and come out the other side, offering a reassuring pat on the back and a "you've got this" pep talk. It's a solid debut that'll have you hitting repeat and reaching for the tissues - in the best way possible. - Rory
