Lizzy McAlpine

A singer/songwriter with a distinctive sound that combines elements of folk-pop, jazz, and R&B, Lizzy McAlpine found mainstream success in 2020 with her acclaimed debut album Give Me a Minute. She issued her sophomore LP, Five Seconds Flat, in 2022. The Philadelphia native started penning songs in middle school, so by the time she began studying songwriting at Berklee College of Music in Boston, she was already ahead of the game. Citing a wide array of influences that includes Dodie, H.E.R., and John Mayer, she released her debut EP, Indigo, in 2018. Two years later, she issued her first full-length effort, Give Me a Minute, with producer and multi-instrumentalist Philip Etherington. An evocative and intimate folk-pop outing that garnered millions of streams, the album elicited praise from contemporaries like FINNEAS, Phoebe Bridgers, and Shawn Mendes. 2021's When the World Stopped Moving: The Live EP delivered an intimate eight-song set of stripped-down favorites culled from McAlpine's popular social media channel, and in 2022 she unveiled her sophomore long-player, Five Seconds Flat. A bold and immersive collection of songs written after a difficult breakup, the 14-track set reached number five on Billboard's Heatseekers chart, thanks in part to the streaming hits "Doomsday" and "All My Ghosts," and guest spots from FINNEAS and Jacob Collier.
