  • 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.

    lizzy's been my absolute favorite artist for the past two years. it's magical to see her making her own, special place in the music industry. it's like it's been waiting for her all along. i'm so proud.

    Lizzy's music is like, one day she cuts my heart in half and the next day she stitches it together again. She has a gift of really understanding feelings, I think. So good to see her rise.

    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.

    I have loved Lizzy for years. Her songs feel like they were taken from the pages in my journals. I am simultaneously thrilled to see her getting the recognition she deserves and CRUSHED that she is no longer my secret. She feels so intimate to me and my heart, I just love her and will support her forever.

    ceilings is a relatively easy song to learn and sing, but i just cant sing it well. i love to express that kind of feeling and vibe the original singer was trying to express. for this song i just cant. everything about her songs and her voice are something else.

    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

    I didn’t know about Lizzie until she toured with Dodie, and I refuse to go to a concert that I can’t sing along with, so I sat down to listen to Lizzie’s stuff and just fell in love with how her songs made me feel. She’s such a fantastic writer, and I love the quality of her voice.

    A couple years ago one of Lizzy’s videos popped up on my UA-cam 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.

    My daughter found Lizzy online before the first album, she shared her songs and we just loved her work from the beginning. It's so satisfying to see that she has 'made it' and that real music and talent can ultimately still shine through the seemingly unnecessary layers that stifle true talent in the music industry. Congrats and thanks for the music Lizzy 🙏😎
