THIRD STUDIO ALBUM OLDER OUT APRIL 5
EXTENSIVE HEADLINE TOUR KICKS OFF THIS SPRING, NEW DATES ADDED DUE TO OVERWHELMING DEMAND
Story: Ralph Greco, Jr.
Singer, songwriter and producer Lizzy McAlpine unveils a new song, “I Guess,” today—listen here. The track is taken from Lizzy’s highly anticipated third studio album, Older, set for release on April 5 via RCA Records—pre-save/pre-order it here.
In celebration of the new music, Lizzy will embark on “The Older Tour” this year, an extensive headline run hitting North America, the U.K. and Europe. Due to overwhelming demand for the tour, second shows have been added in several cities including back-to-back nights at New York’s Radio City Music Hall, Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre, Washington D.C.’s The Anthem, Boston’s MGM Music Hall at Fenway and Philadelphia’s The Met. Additional stops include Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Seattle’s WaMu Theater and San Francisco’s Bill Graham Civic Auditorium as well as performances at Bonnaroo and Hinterland
Recorded and produced in Los Angeles by Lizzy with Mason Stoops (Ryan Beatty, Del Water Gap), Ryan Lerman of Scary Pockets, Jeremy Most (Emily King, Norah Jones) and Tony Berg (Taylor Swift, Boygenius), Older finds the 24-year-old rising star stepping into newfound confidence, discovering her voice and defining her artistry with profound simplicity. It’s a notable departure for Lizzy, who wrote the LP’s deeply personal 14 tracks during a transition into adulthood.
“To me, this album represents who I’ve become over the past three years,” says Lizzy. “Through the long and mostly tumultuous journey of making it, I have learned who I am as a person, who I want to be as an artist and what kind of art I want to make. This album is a culmination of that growth, showcasing the rawest and most honest version of me.”
“I Guess” comes on the heels of Lizzy’s first taste of new music this year, the album’s title track, which was released last month to extensive praise, including from Exclaim! who noted, “A voice can transcend even its literal existence as this intangible sonic thing, floating in the ether; born of a body but seeping into the person’s words and melodies just as distinctly…Lizzy McAlpine has one such voice.”—listen to “Older” here.
Older is the follow up to Lizzy’s widely successful second studio album, five seconds flat, which was released to critical acclaim in the spring of 2022. The record features hit singles “all my ghosts,” “erase me (feat. Jacob Collier)” as well asthe Platinum-certified track
Born outside Philadelphia, Lizzy McAlpine gained recognition when she began to share original songs and covers on Soundcloud and YouTube. In 2020, Lizzy released her debut album, Give Me A Minute, solidifying herself as a rising force and amassing thousands of devoted fans. She has collaborated with some of the industry’s biggest names, most recently featuring on Niall Horan’s “You Could Start a Cult” and Noah Kahan’s “Call Your Mom.” Watch Lizzy perform on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Ellen Show and NPR Music’s Tiny Desk where her set was voted in the Top 5 Tiny Desks of 2022.
