Barker, James (September 16, 2022). "Album Review: Lissie – Carving Canyons". Narc Magazine . Retrieved September 16, 2022. It is an emotionally raw and open album which provides a glimpse into the psyche of someone who – along with most of the rest of the globe – was forced to visit a temporary world of isolation and desolation that many would now prefer to forget. For some, the experience was exacerbated by additional losses: those of homes, jobs, and people. The album’s sentiments are a reminder of the power of healthily embracing our most challenging emotions. As Lissie says, “I’m allowed to hurt – because you can’t go around it, you can’t skip it, you’ve gotta feel the feelings.” 4/5.Similar to the approach of her previous records, Lissie closes out Carving Canyons with an optimistic song—the reflective “Midnight.” “I think by ending with “Midnight,” it's very open-ended,” she explains. “It's finding me in a place of peace and confidence and optimism, but there's still some moodiness there, and there's still a lot of unknown. It feels empowering. It's about being vulnerable and being open and surrendering.” Lissie’s music is often categorised as “pop”. Variations thereof: indie pop, folk pop, etc. appear to lend nuance, but if so, it’s redundant. She doesn’t seem to mind – after all, she co-owns a popcorn brand called Otts’ Pops Indie Pop, which might as well be an edible eyeroll.

AH: Yes! I get overwhelmed sometimes about how much I want to listen to something new, and I just don’t get the chance sometimes. I just don’t have the physical time. Certified Awards Search".

Albums [ edit ] Studio albums [ edit ] List of studio albums, with selected chart positions and certifications L: Yeah, I think that happened very loosely and naturally, which I loved. I didn’t have to make a big to-do, I was just in Nashville, and my producer [Curt Schneider] had come from LA to get some vocals. I always feel like I sing better in Nashville, because in LA it’s dry, so my voice is always a little pinched. But then I come to Nashville, and it was all humid – the humidity is good for my vocal cords – so I was just singin’ my butt off and was able to just call up Kate and Sarah and Bre Kennedy and Madi and Natalie and be like, ‘Hey, what are you doing over the next two days – can you pop into the studio. No pressure.’ And everybody just rolled through and it was awesome! I really gave them freedom to ‘sing what you feel – I have a few ideas, but I’d just love for you to take it away.’ It adds such a dimension and a texture. I’m just so glad that that was able to work out, because it just adds more life and more perspective. It’s a group effort. a b c d Schultz, Paul (1 October 2008). "Music Review: Lissie, "Lissie" EP".

L: No, Since I put out [2010’s] Catching a Tiger, my first big release – I’d written a lot of songs prior, but my proper first album – I’ve always co-written. In part because songwriters aren’t getting enough love right now – not only recognition, but the industry really doesn’t compensate them properly – I felt even more compelled to shine a light on the fact that I couldn’t really write these songs alone. All the lyrics are true to me, and I’m making these songs about my life. But I kinda joke, I don’t write songs alone anymore because I’ll start something, then I’ll go clean my kitchen, or I’ll go to the grocery store – I’ve turned into such a procrastinator that I’ve felt like if I’m really going to do this and I’m gonna write this song and see it through to the end and be able to be objective about it…some of the songs on the album I mostly wrote by myself, but I always like to bring in someone that I trust to bounce some ideas, because it’s sometimes hard to see things objectively when you’re just in it by yourself. I’ve always co-written a lot but, particularly on this record, because I’ve been in the game and I’ve made friends, I was really able to write with a lot of friends and sort of navigate setting up writing – a lot on Zoom and FaceTime – just through relationships that I had, “Hey, you wanna write a song on FaceTime today?” It was surprisingly effective, and really worked out! And not even on purpose, but there was just a ton of women who I wrote with on this record, and I did find there was something much more somehow efficient about that, whether that’s a coincidence or not. I felt like I was writing with a lot of my women friends, and we’re just bustin’ out the tunes. It felt really good. Of her five albums in a recording career that began with her 2010 debut Catching a Tiger, Lissie regards Carving Canyons as her best as well as her most mature work yet. “I feel like in a weird way this is the first album I've made where I haven't really thought or cared about whether or not people were gonna like it. I have other things going on in my life that I'm passionate about. So I can't really let my worth be determined by how people react to it. It was really freeing to be like, ‘I'm making this because I have to, because otherwise I'm gonna explode. I gotta get this stuff out of me.’”
