LIZ STRINGER - The Second High - LP - Vinyl [MAR 28]

LP - Black Vinyl.  

Liz Stringer has been a steadfast and captivating feature of the Australian musical landscape over a six album career. Venerated by her musical peers and devoted fanbase alike, Stringer's world- class vocals, multi-instrumental prowess, notoriously powerful live performances and story-rich, genre-defying songs place her among the most important songwriters of her era.

Mirroring the scope and complexity of Stringer's sensibilities and accomplishment as
an artist, The Second High draws from Stringer's wider infuences of jazz, funk and
soul, and takes her ability to dissect the minutiae of the human condition through
song - and connect with her audience - to a new level. The album is redolent with
motifs of self-actualisation, lessons learned, sharp and ever-relevant commentary on
social issues, and a strong and consistent focus on justice and equality. Fueled by
keys-driven grooves ranging from poignant grand piano lamentations (When You Met
Me), the Rhodes-led jazz odyssey of On the Level, hip-hop favoured keys brightening
the bottom- heavy and deeply funky The Second High, to virtuosic keys that dance
between strings and soaring multi- layered vocals in To Survive, Stringer's seventh
studio album is a fresh and engaging ride to a destination yet uncharted, even by
Stringer's standards - thrilling, stark and transformative. If 2021's First Time Really
Feeling was an excavation, The Second High is an exorcism.
