NEW MUSIC: LIZZY MCALPINE | HATE TO BE LAME (FEATURING FINNEAS)

Rising artist Lizzy McAlpine has joined forces with Grammy-Award winner FINNEAS for her new track "Hate To Be Lame." The track appears on McAlpine's forthcoming album, five seconds flat, set for release this Friday, April 8. Produced by Philip Etherington and Ehren Ebbage, the 14-track album was recorded in Eugene, OR and at The Laundry Pile in Los Angeles. Five seconds flat also includes contributions from Grammy-Award winner Jacob Collier, Ben Kessler, and Laura Elliott. McAlpine's previously released singles "erase me," "doomsday," "all my ghosts," and "reckless driving" continue to receive praise; NPR Music featured "doomsday" in their All Things Considered New Mix, while Teen Vogue declared, "The Philadelphia-based songstress charges on the dark, mid-tempo track." In addition, McAlpine performed on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," the follow-up to her U.S. television debut on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!." Following her extensive run of North American tour dates with Dodie, McAlpine confirms an album release show at Los Angeles' Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever Cemetery on Friday, April 8. McAlpine takes five seconds flat in a bold new direction, using her evocative lyrics to create a story arc about heartbreak. The new music finds McAlpine stepping into her own as an artist, building on her past while looking toward the future. "I want to give my fans something different with each record because I'm different each record," notes McAlpine. "I want to always be growing and moving forward as an artist."
