Lizzy McAlpine Shares 'The Wheel' From The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping
(Sacks & Co.) Lizzy McAlpine shares a new single, "The Wheel," an original song for The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping (The Album). The release adds to a monumental year for McAlpine, who unveiled her highly anticipated fourth album, Angel, in September via Indigo Blue/RCA Records. The album has earned praise from NYLON, Consequence and more, with NPR's All Songs Considered calling the record "gorgeous" and Rolling Stone hailing Angel as "magnificent."
McAlpine also recently announced "The Over Country Tour," an extensive run of headline shows across North America, the U.K., Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Kicking off in Adelaide, Australia in February, the tour includes dates at New York City's Madison Square Garden, Los Angeles' Kia Forum, Paris' L'Olympia, London's O2 Academy Brixton and more.
Recorded and produced with longtime collaborators Mason Stoops (Miley Cyrus, ROLE MODEL, Mumford & Sons) and Taylor Mackall (ROLE MODEL, Tiny Habits) in and around Los Angeles over nearly two years, Angel marks a clear sonic expansion for McAlpine-a rich tapestry of classic and contemporary influences, from '70s Laurel Canyon folk to 21st-century indie. Written during a period of profound self-discovery, the album chronicles McAlpine's return to self through the themes of love, heartbreak, and the endurance of community and friendship.
Angel and "The Over Country Tour" follow the success of McAlpine's 2024 album Older, which received widespread critical acclaim and saw her sell out an extensive international tour, performing sold-out nights at Radio City Music Hall, Los Angeles' Greek Theatre and venues across the U.K., Australia and Europe. The deluxe edition, Older (and Wiser), featured Platinum-Certified "Spring Into Summer," Platinum-Certified "Pushing It Down and Praying" and Gold-Certified "Staying."
Over the last several years, McAlpine has broadened her artistic scope across the screen and stage. Earlier this year, she made her first-ever film appearance in Jamie Adams' Only What We Carry, which had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. In 2025, she made her Broadway debut in the much-lauded Floyd Collins at Lincoln Center Theater opposite Jeremy Jordan, with a performance The New York Times called "a vocal wow of a Broadway debut."
Born outside Philadelphia, Lizzy gained early recognition for her original songs and covers online before releasing her debut album, Give Me A Minute, in 2020. Solidifying herself as a rising force and amassing thousands of devoted fans, Lizzy's widely successful second studio album, five seconds flat, was released to critical acclaim in the spring of 2022 and featured Platinum-Certified track "ceilings." More from Lizzy is imminent.
