Lizzy McAlpine to Release Fourth Album Angel

Lizzy McAlpine will release her fourth album, Angel, on September 18 under RCA. McAlpine was involved in writing Angel while she acted in the Floyd Collins musical. To introduce the project, McAlpine sang her new album in its entirety to audiences at phone-free concerts located in Hackney and Brooklyn. Regarding future live shows, McAlpine stated that she will allow her fans to use their phones during her upcoming tour.

The song titled The Light in the Painting was the first track written for the Angel album, and it was inspired by the Crosby, Stills & Nash song Lady of the Island. Another track, titled A Car Wash and a New Pair of Pants, features melodic elements from the Nick Drake song One of These Things First. McAlpine previously had a song titled Ceilings that became popular on TikTok in 2023.

In October 2024, McAlpine met Joni Mitchell through Taylor Mackall while attending rehearsals at the Hollywood Bowl. A few days after the release of her fourth album Angel on September 18, McAlpine will celebrate her birthday as she turns 27 years old on September 21.
