The Second High
Liz Stringer has been a steadfast and captivating feature of the Australian musical landscape over a six album career. Venerated by her musical peers and devoted fanbase alike, Stringer's world-class vocals, multi-instrumental prowess, notoriously powerful live performances, and story-rich, genre-defying songs place her among the most important songwriters of her era.
Mirroring the scope and complexity of Stringer's sensibilities and accomplishment as an artist, The Second High draws from Stringer's wider influences of jazz, funk, and soul, and takes her ability to dissect the minutiae of the human condition through song - and connect with her audience - to a new level. The album is redolent with motifs of self-actualization, lessons learned, sharp and ever-relevant commentary on social issues, and a strong and consistent focus on justice and equality.
Fueled by keys-driven grooves ranging from poignant grand piano lamentations ("When You Met Me"), the Rhodes-led jazz odyssey of "On the Level", hip-hop favored keys brightening the bottom-heavy and deeply funky "The Second High", to virtuosic keys that dance between strings and soaring multi-layered vocals in "To Survive", 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.
