Watch singer, songwriter and producer Lizzy McAlpine perform “Older” for the first time on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” last night here. The song is the title track from her highly anticipated third studio album, Older, set for release on April 5 via RCA Records—pre-save/pre-order it here.
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—including recently shared single “I Guess.”
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 festivals. See below for a full itinerary.
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 , “ceilings,” which debuted at No. 75 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
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.
