Lizzy McAlpine joins host Stephen Kallao
Lizzy McAlpine is not someone to walk away from writing a song that isn’t working for her. That intuitive approach is what this Philadelphia native took on her sophomore album, Five Seconds Flat, and her unexpectedly viral hit song “Ceilings.” On the World Cafe, Lizzy McAlpine speaks with World Cafe about how she approaches songwriting as well as the story behind her latest album.
