I was not familiar with Lizzy McAlpine’s game, I must say, before recently. Sure, there was that better-than-the-original cover of “A Little Bit of Everything” last year. But good lord, where to even start with this tune? Just hiding punch after well-timed punch in the strings and hushed vocals. And then… it just breaks open with warmth. More, please.
Lizzy McAlpine returned to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to perform the title track off her forthcoming album, “Older”. Watch it below.
The performance, which featured the singer-songwriter backed only by a pianist and guitarist, marked the live debut of “Older.” The full album is set to arrive on April 5th via RCA Records. In recent weeks, McAlpine also dropped the moody and restrained single “I Guess” as another look into the project.
Writing and recording “Older” was one of the most creatively fulfilling and moving experiences of my entire life. i brought half of this song to Mason Stoops & Taylor Mackall and within 20 minutes we had the full thing. we recorded three takes, just the three of us in a room, no headphones or click or anything. you can listen to the third take now. pure, pure creativity and love.
