Steven J. Horowitz Senior Music Writer Lizzy McAlpine is an admitted overthinker, particularly when it comes to the concept of time and our inability to control it. “I spiral about that pretty much every night,” says the 24-year-old, who contemplates growth and reconciles with regret on her third album “Older,” out today (April 5).
“Definitely on birthdays, I hate birthdays, I’m terrified of death. So yeah, I think about it all the time. It’s an ever-present thing in my life and I guess it just seeped into this record.
It’s just always there. I think I allowed it to be seen a little more in this.” Mortality is just one piece of the broader narrative of “Older,” a deeply visceral meditation on the fallout of a singular romantic relationship that McAlpine dissects over the course of the album. It’s a stark, confessional body of work that trims away the more experimental flourishes of 2022’s “Five Seconds Flat.” That project propelled her to new, mainstream heights on the back of single “Ceilings,” an inescapable TikTok hit whose sped-up version has nearly 700,000 uses on the platform.
For McAlpine, “Older” is more focused and centered than her prior work. On it, she juxtaposes her relationship’s unraveling against a coming-of-age story, trying to make sense of it all in real-time. It’s apparent on the horn-kissed “All Falls Down” (“22 was a panic attack, I can’t stop the time from moving / And I can never get it back”), and the sparse “Movie Star” (“Who am I, who am I to myself / What are you changing about me?”).
