Eliza McLamb – 16
2024 will see the release of Eliza McLamb’s highly awaited, debut full-length Going Through It on January 19th.
Picture the album as a plunge pool with a still surface that betrays its staggering depth. A dive beneath reveals excerpts from McLamb’s life, one that until recently could be described as “difficult” if not plainly “traumatic.” By the time you hit bottom, you’ve reached the midpoint of Going Through It, a song called “16” that bluntly recalls a year of familial and personal turmoil that made McLamb the songwriter she is today. “I’ve no idea why I didn’t kill myself, frankly,” she says. McLamb survived, but the trauma lingers. “Side A of the record is ‘show me everything,’” she says. “Side B asks: ‘How do I take this with me?’”
McLamb self-described “16,” as “the best song on the record” and rightfully so. “16” is a true distillation of McLamb’s exemplary songwriting and features minimalistic electronic production and layered vocals. The result is a powerful single that implores listeners to sit with intimate reflections and revelations.
