Nashville-based singer-songwriter Alice Wallace released her latest album, Here I Am, via Mule Kick Records, earlier in 2025. Here I Am marks a return to themes of self-examination after several collections that featured predominantly story songs. “I needed to make a record that was really true to myself, both for me and for my fans who have encouraged me in ways I am so grateful for,” she explains. “Songs are how I process. And writing this album helped me process so much of what has happened in the last few years.”
Wallace says Here I Am is an album about reclaiming herself, as an artist, as a woman, and as a person navigating a world that is beautiful and confusing and harsh. Since releasing her last LP in 2019, Wallace’s life has changed immensely – a cross-country move, a career unexpectedly halted in 2020, falling in love more deeply than before, and being heartbroken more painfully than she ever knew she could be. “All of those changes gave me a chance to examine myself in ways I never had. This album covers a spectrum of emotions I haven’t been brave enough to share on an album before,” she continues. “This album is me.”
Here I Am is available for streaming and downloading here or at her website.
