Review
Lizzy McAlpine's album, "Older," dropping on April 5, 2024, is her major-label debut with RCA Records, and it’s nothing short of a heart-pouring masterpiece. This indie folk and chamber pop gem is sooo vibes, with its infusion of baroque pop adding a unique twist. Each of the 12 tracks is like a peek into Lizzy’s soul, touching on themes of love, heartache, and finding oneself. The album kicks off with "The Elevator," a cozy lil' track that feels like a warm hug of new love, followed by deeper dives into the complexities of relationships with "Come Down Soon" and "Like It Tends to Do."
"Older" is sprinkled with moments that are hashtag relatable, like "Movie Star," which navigates the tricky waters of power dynamics, and "All Falls Down" with its lush string melodies that transport you to another plane. Lizzy’s raw and lyrical honesty shines throughout, especially in "I Guess," a beautifully uncertain track that everyone can see a bit of themselves in. Critics are here for it, praising her artistic glow-up and mature vibes. With singles like "Older" and "I Guess" setting the tone, Lizzy embarked on the "Older Tour," hitting North America and Europe, bringing all those feels to the stage. This album is a whole mood and solidifies Lizzy McAlpine as a powerhouse singer-songwriter.✨ - Bella
