The Philadelphia singer-songwriter Lizzy McAlpine is on the rise with the release of her new single "all my ghosts," which is very personal. The song is the first taste of her second album, "Five Seconds Flat," which will come out on April 8. This song shows off McAlpine's amazing talent for turning emotional weakness into art. It mixes soft melodies with raw lyrics and a warm sound that feels like a quiet exhale after a breakup.
McAlpine's ability to create atmosphere is very subtle; every note in "all my ghosts" feels like it was painted with memory. Her soft, confessional voice has a weight that is both nostalgic and grounding. It looks at the traces of love that stay long after the moment has passed. This song encompasses more than just a breakup; it also reflects the locations that individuals depart from. McAlpine's voice is soft and haunting, and it provides the song emotional depth, reminding us why she's quickly become one of the most real voices of her generation.
Philip Etherington and Ehren Ebbage mostly made five seconds flat, which promises to broaden McAlpine's sound without losing her signature closeness. The album has 14 songs and was recorded between Oregon and Los Angeles. It features an impressive group of collaborators, including Grammy winners FINNEAS and Jacob Collier, as well as Ben Kessler and Laura Elliot. They all work together to help McAlpine find new sounds that mix organic instruments with pop elements from movies. The end result makes it seem like an artist has fully embraced her own creative power.
Along with the song "All My Ghosts," there is also a beautiful music video that fits the song's ethereal tone. The video shows McAlpine's delicate balance between sadness and growth through soft images and a simple story. It doesn't stay sad; instead, it celebrates emotional honesty, which is a big part of her art. It feels less like a performance and more like an open window into her thoughts, just like her other albums.
McAlpine's quick rise to fame was not by chance. Her voice has reached more than just her early SoundCloud and YouTube fans. It has been streamed well over 90 million times across platforms. Her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and her upcoming performance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show demonstrate that she is an artist whose authenticity connects with mainstream audiences. At the same time, her presence on TikTok has given fans a look at the unfiltered side of her creative process, giving them a peek at the person behind the songs.
McAlpine is at the beginning of a defining chapter as she gets ready to go on tour in North America with Dodie and then in the UK. "All My Ghosts" is more than just a song; it's a statement that growth and grief can live together and that music can help us deal with what still haunts us. Not only is Lizzy McAlpine going back to her past with "Five Seconds Flat," she's taking it back, one haunting melody at a time.
