Liz Stringer launched her seventh studio album The Second High last week in Naarm/Melbourne and 8CCC are featuring it all week! Renowned for powerful vocals, this album features lots of keys and flowing strings, capturing funk, jazz and soul influences from a songwriter sharing her decades of musical industry experience to explore life’s richness, as well as tougher aspects such as social justice and equality. Take a fresh aural journey with this accomplished musician and vocalist, who is really comfortable in her own skin and happy to share. Available now on all streaming platforms.
“Approaching the third decade of her career, she remains beloved by community radio, adored by a cult fanbase and all but ignored by the mainstream. The Second High, her seventh album, probably won’t change any of that, and that is a reflection on the myopia, ageism and sexism of the music industry.” [Andrew Stafford, Guardian]
“…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.” [from Bandcamp, link above]
