Lizzy McAlpine's new album “Older” tracks the feelings and questions that come with maturing, grieving, learning to trust and be trusted. McAlpine's third album follows 2021's “Five Seconds Flat” and its viral hit “Ceilings,” her first entry into the Billboard Hot 100.
, “Older,” is only one minute and 40 seconds long. In that time, “The Elevator” carries the listener into McAlpine’s internal world, climbing a steady piano melody toward a drum-led instrumental before the song meets an abrupt end — depositing the listener at the second track, but more importantly, in the thick of McAlpine’s current conundrum.
The track sets the listener up for the album that follows: “Older” is a rich world for the listener to live within precisely because the songs vary in range and emotionality. Her songs tend to focus on maturation, entering and leaving relationships, learning to trust and be trusted. On “Older,” that includes navigating grief and growing older, while watching others grieve and grow older, too.
