  • Episode 1: McAlpine's Most Mature

    Pridmore begins with a top album of hers. Lizzy McAlpine’s latest album “Five Seconds Flat” is different from her previous works, as it takes a more mature approach and incorporates stronger pop elements. It takes listeners through McAlpine’s cycle of emotions going through a breakup, but not just through typical lyricism but with the use of strong metaphors. Because of the partial relatability and strong lyricism, the album includes a song from Pridmore’s top ten favorite songs of all time list! Come inside her mind and see why it appeals to her so much.
