The simple piano figure and soft programmed drums that open the title track to Lizzy Rose’s new album Faultlines (released October 24, 2025) eases us into a tender song about life starting to come apart. The urgent synth arpeggios later in the song perfectly embody the moment when you can no longer ignore the fissures in one’s relationship and one’s life and are forced to deal with them before you feel you’re ready. But in the song, Rose’s vocals are steady, strong and gentle and while conveying the truths of coming to terms with aspects of one’s life that can be unpleasant also show how we can get through this time with grace through emotional honesty, patience and a willingness to take on life’s challenges as they are without having to over-dramatize or catastrophizing the situation at hand. It is honestly a perfect song for reminding oneself that this approach can be taken to just about everything even when it all feels like nothing can make it better. The new album was written and recorded six years ago by the singer/songwriter who is finally bringing the music to light and as circumstances now make clear it’s emerging at just the right time at a time of crisis for many.
