Lizzie Thomas ‘Awakening’ Is A Journey from the Heart, with a Beat You Can’t Resist

There’s something magical about an album that can make you think, feel, and move all at once—and Awakening nails that balance beautifully. Lizzie Thomas’s latest release is a heartfelt journey through self-discovery, loss, and rebirth, set to the backdrop of some seriously catchy grooves. The album feels like an intimate conversation with a wise friend who also happens to throw the best dance parties.

Each song is packed with emotional nuance—from the radical self-love anthem This Love to the hauntingly beautiful Home, inspired by a vision of her late mother. Thomas’s ability to turn deeply personal experiences into universally relatable songs is a testament to her artistry. Plus, with the Harlem String Quartet’s lush accompaniment and the soulful pulse of the B3 organ, the soundscape is both cozy and grand.

Awakening is a reminder that music can be both healing and fun. It’s an album that encourages you to embrace your truth, celebrate your resilience, and maybe even dance a little while you’re at it. Lizzie Thomas has crafted a record that’s as much about heart as it is about rhythm—a rare and wonderful combo.
