It’s interesting that Lizzy feels “Five Seconds Flat” was in some ways inauthentic, because having listened to and appreciated all of her work, including the current collection, “Five Seconds Flat” felt the most moving and also the most melodically compelling to me. It goes to show you art is completely in the eye of the beholder.
Honestly same. For me that’s a perfect album, one of the best albums I’ve ever listened to. Don’t get me wrong, I am so happy for her that she’s moved on to something that feels more true to her, and Older is an incredible album, but geez five seconds flat is one of the best albums I’ve ever heard in my life
this is so interesting and so true! I felt like GMaM was more Lizzy than 5SF was.I felt like five seconds flat was so obviously a production. don't get me wrong, i love ALL of the songs on that album, and erase me and all my ghosts are some of my favorite songs of all time, but something about Give Me A Minute felt so personal and intimate. And then Older came out, and I listened to it once casually, then again paying attention to the back half because the B-side of that album absolutely nuts. And then a 3rd time listening to the front side, and finally listening to it the 4th time, I immediately cried.
Older, for me, is one of the most personal, intimate, and vulnerable albums I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Older isn't just a collection of songs. Its a story being told from in its entirety. As she says, is the last thing she has to say about this 9 year relationship, and she quite literally told us everything that happened in it in the most creative and intimate way she could, and for me its so beautiful.
I agree!
Agreeeed. It’s got some of my favorite songs of all time on there.
Same, and I’m happy for her NO ONE should be forced to make or perform art that doesn’t represent them, but now I’m selling my tickets to a five-hour-away show at a loss. I wish this interview came out before I bought them.
i like how she has no filter and just talks so naturally
LOVEEEEE that she chose to evolve regardless of what other artists do or what a label might advise her to do with releasing a deluxe version etc. YES LIZZY ❤️
This is lethal confidence and certainty of self and I’m living for it 😭💕
I’m SO GLAD you left You Forced Me Too on the album ITS ONE OF MY FAVORITES!!!!!!
I remember pointing out in her last interview that she was still finding her sound. Glad to see that she is growing more into herself.
It's so weird to say but she is one of the only true singer songwriters in the popular sphere. I love that she made a record with a band. It's so much better. In this age of AI generated everything, there is nothing like the magic of people in a room doing something together. We want to empathize with artists and Lizzy allows us to put ourselves in her shoes when she writes and sings!
Honestly the writing in older didnt wow me so much compared to FSF. Its all love me love me not but i guess its personal preference
@@shra6650 I think that is fair. To me FSF feels like an amazing product. It is a beautiful piece of art, it's very well written, and amazingly well produced. It's a very vivid and theatrical product. But I think that's the distinction shes making. It was a theatrical product and not a piece of her art quite yet. She was young and still is young and is still evolving. Personally I love this album, but it makes me super excited for her future. I feel like she's found her voice and her sound and I'm excited to see her writing evolve.
Hozier, Maggie Rogers, Phoebe Bridgers, Noah Kahan, Sufjan Stevens, NIKI, Matt Maltese, Faye Webster, Lorde, Leon Bridges, Omar Apollo...... I love Lizzy too but don't come in here with dubious claims
@@peteberman2350 I said one of the only. No shade to anyone else. It's a big world out there.
I feel like we’re out to lunch gossiping about this relationship and I love it
Lizzy's new album is such a masterpiece, so relaxing and beautiful!!
ilysm lizzy older is life-changing
Oh My Friend marry me please
I mean you are good looking so beautiful trust me you are nice look and good looking so beautiful dress me and you miss you too much
Love you love you love you love you love you love you love you love you love you love
oh my gosh, i was listening to this album and thinking omg did ryan beatty work on this? i checked the credits and everything then her saying that she worked with his band makes perfect sense.
no seriously i could make a whole ted talk about the ryan beatty-ification of her new music like she’s used the same band that he used on tour, she’s constantly commenting on his social media, and her pen game is becoming more reflective just like his. No one is talking about it, like i’ve followed both of them since early 2020 and i want to see a collab since they’re so similar in style now but i can only hope for now
saaame it reminded me of Calico a lot which I also love and now I feel so validated haha
me tooooo!! the way she talked about how she wants to rearrange her fsf songs for this tour made me think sooo much of ryan’s show and how he reworks older tracks into the calico sound. freaking magicallllll.
I feel what she's saying about the band adding life to the songs. The instrumentals were the first thing that caught my attention in this album, it's so good.
I’m obsessed with Older, it’s so beyond good and mature and vulnerable and beautiful
this album is beautiful in every way. the lyrics and the meaning behind them are amazing but the actual sound of the songs- omg. i actually felt like i was being transported to a different realm while listening. absolutely insane and incredibly life changing. truly a work of art.
Seriously. I especially feel that way about You Forced Me To… it transports me into this kind of haunted, creepily happy (someone described it as a funhouse) vibes, but it’s so beautiful.. I can’t believe it’s just her demo. ELIZABETH MCALPINE, thank you for keeping that one on the album. & don’t think of depriving us of your musical genius ever again😅😂
lizzy's growth is inspiring. Older, as a music album definitely showcases her evolution which makes me proud to be a fan.
Happy that she feels good about what is released and for the upcoming tour
So great to see Lizzy speak up for her needs regarding tour scheduling. This sets an amazing precedent and example of what's possible.
This interview is incredible. When I finished my first listen to the album, I had many, many questions. Most of them are answered here. Brilliant.
older is my new fav record from lizzy, fell in love w it the second it came out
I loooove Lizzy and I'm so happy she's happier now ❤ but I have to be honest, as a five seconds flat super fan, my first couple of listenings of her new album was not love at first sight (and maybe that's good) BUT I immediately saved All Falls Down, Broken Glass and You Forced Me To. Looooove these songs!!!!! I hope the album grows on me in the future... maybe when the winter arrives in a couple of months :)
You had the exact listening experience as me
you forced me to is my absolute favorite. i can't believe she almost didn't put it on the album. i'm so glad she kept it on the way it is
Update: This weekend it happened, I felt super anxious for the first time in a veeeeeeery long time and this album helped me with its chill melodies. I finally got it ❤
@@dani.phow cool 🤍
Exactly how I feel
THANK U FOR KEEPING US FED WITH LIZZY INTERVIEWS
staying is such a wonderful song!
“You forced me to” is my favorite song she’s ever written! and genuinely one of her best, I’m clutching my pearls to think it almost didn’t make it
But Force of Nature coming out on the deluxe after that song?? Oh. Oh the pain.
Lizzy is so my comfort person
The sound is very different to her previous works. It’s a slow burn but overall the warmth and depth was killer. Older is her best song and a timeless one. The album is cohesive and mature. The album feels like an album track album with not many songs that stand out like Older and I Guess. I still liked it a lot and is a really good set of songs to add to her repertoire/set
I wish she would say which songs on the track list she liked the demos of i’m interested!!
i would loveee to hear the demos
you forced me to is the original demo, and the elevator, better than this, and like it tends to do were all posted on tiktok two or three years ago.
@@left2rightanimations561 if you don't mind would you link us to these vids (except you forced me to)? thank you so much
Her interview reminds me of how Ariana and Porter’s interviews, and I’m glad to see that what they want is to be truthful to themselves as musicians and overall ❤
I could listen to her talk forever
I adore Lizzy and her new album.
after hearing the album, i'm THRILLED that i got tickets to see her in october 🤭 lowkey hope she plays doomsday because my show is on october 31st! (though of course i understand she doesn't want to do a lot of five seconds flat material. i'll be happy either way tbh)
So proud of her and what she did with this album - it's incredible!!!!
I found her after Arijit mentioned her... her music is wonderful, so happy to see her growth
where??? where did he mention??
@@just_driftin He did an interview with The Music Podcast where he said he was listening to Ceilings and recommended Lizzy's music. It's on RUclips!
@user-ur8ys9xs5g He did an interview with The Music Podcast where he talked about her and how he loves Ceilings
I AM SO HAPPY I CLICKED ON THIS - threw me out of a rut genuinely - LOVE @LIZZY AND @Zach Sang Show ❤❤❤
Her best yet is older. Just finished listening to it.. really great. Reminds me of the days of sharing little clips on her insta or vlogs when she was still in school in Valencia .. very organic feel. excellent.
ugh i really wish she had a separate show in chicago!!
I listened to Older before I listened to Five Seconds Flat, and I ended up listening to almost all of your discography, by now. I really love and relate to you as a musician and person, Lizzy. I’ve been visiting/interning at a recording studio and have already heard from the person I’m working under that they think you’re a real musician with great lyricism. He even showed another artist, to me, he’s helping that has been influenced by you. I think it’s great that you speak your truth through it all. I really hope that the rest of the tour goes well and that you end up enjoying it better than the last one! Lots of love from MD ❤! Stay true to you!
Older is magical. Lot’s of pure Lizzy there. She’s an absolute musical genius. Her lyrics are so authentic and moving. I love her.
The constant reassurance from Zach 🥹💚
now this is a therapy session i would listen to over and over again
can’t wait to see you in sydney in july, i got my tissue box ready !!! thank u for Older, it’s so raw and evocative and your voice is so emotive and amazing 😭💚 love u lizzy !!!
Praying for Sydney tickets too 🙏🙏
dang this interview was surprisingly personal
omg thank god you kept You Forced Me To!! One of my favs
55:31 this is so cool that she just decided this is her new musical era. i don’t hear a lot of artists speaking on their careers about her
this is the best notification i’ve ever received
Great interview gents. You have a way with bringing out deep conversations whilst also being non-judgemental. Massive fan also and Ill be wrestling people to the ground to get tickets for first ever Australian tour 😎
yesss i wanted this interview so bad !!!
This new album is such a great record
i love lizzy so much i am so proud of her 😭😭😭😭
So bummed that she doesn’t look back on her second album fondly because not only was it the album that introduced me to her, it’s far and away my favorite body of work she’s released so far, Older included.
All My Ghosts and Orange Show Speedway particularly really connect with me and feel so earnest, so to hear that she feels it’s a disingenuous record that doesn’t really represent her as an artist is really a bummer.
omg orange show speedway & ghosts r also my fav!!!
Coming from somebody that discovered her in her Give Me A Minute era, five seconds flat was a great redirect, but the Older production has definitely felt more her and less bombastic and less loud angst teen than ffs. Don’t get me wrong, I loveeee her third album, ffs (when she took Indigo, her first album, off streaming I was sooooo upset) but I prefer her being authentic, reflecting on herself, and having musician’s autonomy by not aligning with songs the way she used to. Honestly most artists feel that way because most songwriters can write for forever and still be 4 years behind in the story they want to tell. They just don’t talk about it because fanbases get hostile once you say you’ve changed. But Apple Pie, Over the Ocean Call, called you again, and Staying are my overall favorites.
While I’m so glad that she’s found a space that she feels is more true for her, and while I think that space (and her latest album) is incredible, I have to agree that five seconds flat is my personal favorite album of hers - in fact, it’s a perfect album imo, something I don’t say often about an album.
Likewise… I love fsf. Older is a grower but at the moment I’m still in fsf mood
this woman will never dissapoint
i hope she's happy. she seems really down lately even though she just released her album. i wished she knew what a masterpiece she just put out.
LOL the last convo about sports was funny.
Hoping to catch a concert this summer!! So looking forward to the live band element
I adore lizzy and your team zach, thank you again
yay! I love her so much, thanks for this
I’m a production nerd so I LOVE five seconds flat but my best friend loves more raw music so he loves this new album Older. I think its a good thing that her discography is a bit diverse
I’m surprised that 5SF became as important to me as it has, and I still have to listen to a good handful of it every week. Those songs give me something I don’t think any other artist has given which is so special. To hear that performing those songs live felt inauthentic to her as an artist saddens me a bit. All My Ghosts, Reckless Driving, and Orange Show Speedway have such infectious energies and great melodies, and so many others have drama, emotion, and theatricality. Just a stellar body of work imo. A bit of a bummer that the she may not enjoy performing those songs anymore, but it’s always healthier for an artist to move onto things that fulfill them more. I’m happy she’s in a better place and working towards a more sustainable touring schedule.
It’s taken me longer to get into Older admittedly as I’m not usually someone who has the patience for a slower, more intimate record (I come from a rock/punk background). But it’s growing on me every day and songs like All Falls Down, Broken Glass, Better Than This, Vortex, and Come Down Soon have endeared me enough to continue to let it grow. Lizzy’s a special talent and I’m proud of her 💛
YAYAYYAYAAYYAYAYAY LIZZYYYYYYYYYY
My favourite lizzy album will always be "Give me a minute"
the way he just assumed they had a cat together is so cute though😭😭
I can’t lie, I love her and I love her music. I feel like this new sound I loved sooo much more than a majority of her old stuff! I think the ppl who liked FSF won’t like this, and if you weren’t obsessed with FSF you’ll love this like me hahaha :)
Obviously I loved ceilings and doomsday but I like these nuanced sounds so much more :)))
But that’s simply my opinion, don’t kill me
i wore that same jacket she’s wearing today awww🥺🥺💖
Elizabeth McAlpine: Please come to Argentina, I want to listen to you live so baaaaad (it's a need)😭😭😭😭
I really like your music and loved older and I love you as a person 🫶❤
Go ahead gurl❤❤
Oh, that voice. And, love, Lizzy
Absolutely fascinating
I wanna go to older tour
I need some older merch 🫶🏽
So good❤😊
Lizzy how I love you
I love Lizzy Mcalpine bruh
♡
could you pretty please ask her to ask her team to restock her merch lol
MAKING MY DAY WITH THIS
please make Lizzy material available on cd for purchase...yes I was born in 1973...and her material deserves a physical presentation/medium...
Older is on cd! look at her store on her website(:
zach we see the space camp in the cornerr
ayeee 🙌
So sad that she dislikes FSF - the collaborations and songwriting and production were great…. As someone who bought live tickets before older came out I’ll be pissed if there’s no FSF as that’s what made me buy tickets
this new album is a little underwhelming production and lyrics wise compared to her other work, but it certainly is relaxing and for when you’re in a specific melancholy vibe
All falls down is giving Andy Shauf vibes!!
Yessss, she put it on her no skips album playlist a couple months back and it definitely influenced her
broken glass 😍
it still makes me sad to this day that she took indigo off of spotify… is that bad
I discovered her when she released GMAM and I love it, FSF does have more teenage vibes lyrically but production is great and I like it because of that.. also her collabs in that album are beautiful. I feel like Lizzy is gonna regret in a couple years to have said this.
Lizzy's rendition of Wicked with Reneé Rapp was INCREDIBLE everyone go watch it
not her hating on five seconds flat :(
Especially since it’s miles better than older
@@jimbob2427terrible take. Five Seconds Flat is great, but overall extremely juvenile compared to this. Older has a more mature and refined sound.
@@greg-shoes it’s just a bit odd to practically reject the work that brought in the majority of her fan base. She’s allowed to do it just feels a bit alienating
@@Rubz3211i mean she literally said that with FSF her goal was to just do things that were popular but that made the record inauthentic to herself. I think she's trying to be more of an artist rather than a celebrity right now. Artists are allowed to grow in different ways and as fans shouldn't we be supportive of their growth in mental maturity?
@@abeharhar I never said I wasn't being supportive. I'm sure many artists don't resonate with their previous albums, especially their early ones. I just think it's an odd move to so publicly distance yourself from the work that brought the majority of your fans in.
funny how stealing someone’s band is how she found “her” sound
Idk how olivia rodrigo did 4 nights in a row in nyc 💀
How can someone from Philly wear a Raiders shirt??
I wonder what kind of zip up hoodie she is wearing because I want one sooo bad and I love her Interview she seems legit but also clueless and still a child at 24.....just saying and it seems like she really isn't fully invested into this whole "music industry". She will be a one hit wonder believe me on that.
I’m pretty sure that hoodie is brandy melville !!
Love her music, but in all the interviews I've seen she always tries so hard to be different and never has good answers to explain why her music is now 'different,' even though there's literally not a huge difference between Older and her previous album. Her answer about the 'energy' being different with the other bands is like okay? There's also a way to evolve without being perpetually negative and regretting who you've resonated with at the time
I mean… can you seriously pick any song on this album and tell me how the production sounds like Doomsday or Erase Me? The songwriting is similar, sure, it’s the same person. But sonically?
Agreed. It’s a very negative view of art
she was just honest. I believe she knows her craft. And its kinda basic right, If you think you its doesnt feel right and it will not gonna work to make your craft magical, you can always change it. And importantly, you said theres no difference from the old to the new, THERE is a huge different. You should definitely find the difference because I believe there is.
Discazo
She’s way too precious about her work and her “feelings”. People are going to your shows to hear songs they know, not just the new stuff. Get over yourself.
I think she has the right to play whatever she wants, it’s her show. However I do agree that her shitting on her old work is unnecessary and alienates her fanbase. Just comes off very stand offish
@@boystupid2324 as a fan i feel sad that she wont perform any songs from ffs as i love that album but if i imagine myself as her, the artist and disliking your older music , its best that she performs what she wants to bcus if she has a difficult or negative relationship with her past music its gonna be evident in her performance. as a fan i want to see the artist comfortable and having fun on stage not reluctantly playing a song, looking like she would rather be anywhere else yk
@@ginack19 right, she can perform whatever she wants but putting down her past work is not a good look
@@ginack19I bought love tickets before older came out so will be seriously pissed off if she doesn’t play fsf music
She’s annoying
