  • Lizzy McAlpine is having a moment. Her track “Ceilings,” off her second album Five Seconds Flat, is getting serious traction, she just played Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and her album features collaborations with FINNEAS and Jacob Collier. We met up with the Philly-born, LA-based 23-year-old to find out the story behind her breakout hit, the short film that accompanies her album, and how this increase in streams is opening doors.

    Been under her spell since 2019. I think it’s a rare thing when an artist makes you feel like they are writing about your life. She adds melody to life and it makes you feel like music is all we were ever meant to be here for.

She feels so intimate to me and my heart, I just love her and will support her forever.

      i often wonder if that’s what they really want, like i think you can’t be a step or 2 under that and still be great financially without all the MAJOR attention. you carve out an amazing fan base who you connect with and be set. once they go mainstream all the attention would seem super overwhelming. not disagreeing with you just offering that point of view cause i think about it a lot

    When we started out in the early 90s, it was SO (expletive) challenging to get your music out there. Spotify and the internet have changed the game 1,000,000 %. The hustle from back then remains the same as now in 2023; but, the field is WIDE OPEN to any artist who's willing to work EVERYDAY on their art. I wish all of the opportunities for global exposure were around back then as they are today. Artists today are so lucky. They just don't all realize it. Keep grinding! Enjoy the ride. - Manny of The Ticking Clocks

    A couple years ago one of Lizzy’s videos popped up on my RUclips feed as I was listening to younger female artists. I was smitten with Daneliya Tuleshova’s voice after seeing her on various talent shows and she is a phenomenal talent. But hearing Lizzy’s voice on that first video absolutely blew my mind. Her voice, lyrics, and art are responsible for creating the most beautiful musical experience I’ve ever had. I’ve been obsessed with her music since that first day. There is no one like her. Lizzy is the superstar who sneaks up on you with her quiet style, incomparably beautiful vocals and brilliantly evocative lyrics. Yeah, I absolutely love her.
