With the release of her debut album, ‘Hard Won,’ in March 2017, NYC singer-songwriter, harpist, and guitarist Lizzie No established herself as one of the most exciting new voices in contemporary folk music. Billboard Magazine called the album “simultaneously understated and fervent.” She followed up the album with the release of “Sundown,” a benefit track for Black Lives Matter. Lizzie showcased at Americanafest, SXSW, the Mile of Music, and as a featured soloist at the Louisville Orchestra’s Festival of American Music. Building on the songwriting prowess displayed in her critically acclaimed debut album [her song “Outlaws” won the American Songwriter Magazine Lyrics Prize], No is unsparing in self-reflection in her new album. The nine songs on ‘Vanity’ are epic tales of ego, featuring narrative shifts within vividly crafted characters. Inventive arrangements written in collaboration with drummer and co-producer Nick Rapley elevate the record to shimmering heights, alternating between swaggering grooves and intimate clarity.
