“Stranger in the Alps” by Phoebe Bridgers is her debut album that came out on September 22, 2017, to share her thoughts and feelings with listeners. The album was primarily made in her studio in Los Angeles, California.
With a total length of 44 minutes and fifteen seconds, it includes 10 original songs written by Bridgers and 1 cover written by Mark Kozelek. Some of the most favorited songs by fans include “Motion Sickness,” “Funeral,” and “Scott Street.” The song “Killer” features background vocals from John Doe and the song “Would You Rather” features background vocals from her former collaborator and bandmate Conor Oberst.
The main vocals are an absolute masterpiece. The 4-time Grammy Award winner really has one of the most beautiful voices in this generation. The way she performs her songs in the most gut-wrenching, devastating way makes the album hit so much harder. Her soft, delicate vocals pack a large punch.
The lyrics are incredible. Every song tells a story in its own way. They are so relatable, meaningful and go into full depth about how it feels to love, lose, and just be sad in general. She’s so unbelievably honest that it makes everything feel deeply personal. She truly can’t make a bad song.
Overall, this album deserves a 10/10. The lyrics, the vocals and the production all create an excellent blend.
