From her debut EP Hopping Dimensions, set to drop on Friday, September 27, “Age of Reason” (released August 7) explores themes of personal growth and self-discovery, with verses that encompass the subtle nuances of change and the journey toward healing. The song’s vibrant sound, driven by upbeat acoustics and percussion, creates a captivating listening experience that perfectly complements Libby’s pensive lyrics
“This song is all about entering a new way of being, letting go of things, and welcoming new ways of thinking, living, and feeling that truly make me happy,” Libby shares. “It was a shift in realizing that if I wanted to have more joy and happiness in my life, it was up to me to seek out and live my life in a way that made me truly happy rather than staying in a rut.”
Her sophomore single, “The Artist” (released July 10) brings Libby’s signature stark imagery to life, using various artistic mediums to convey the agony of heartbreak. Her emotive vocals reach a peak at the bridge, where intensified drumming mirrors the frustration of a turbulent relationship. “‘The Artist’ is some of my favorite songwriting I’ve done,” Libby shares. “I always use other people as my muses in songwriting so I thought it would be a fun story that I could have fallen for and been wrecked by this artist after I’ve been their muse. I was so inspired by all sorts of art mediums, artists and different styles of art that helped me paint this vivid picture.

Released on June 12, the EP’s lead single, “End of an Era,” is a vulnerable, dreamy track that captures the tension experienced during transitional phases before achieving happiness. The lyric video features scenes of rushing waterfalls and blooming foliage, grounding images that symbolize the essential changes after heartbreak. As Libby describes, “I wanted to capture that feeling of anxiety that comes when things are going so well and knowing, inevitably, there will be another point when you’re at another low.”

Describing Hopping Dimensions as a “coming of age story,” Libby begins from a low point in life, illustrating the struggle to emerge from darkness, learn how to cope, let go, and find joy in change. “It almost feels like things are too good to possibly be in the same dimension as when things were bad — it feels like you literally hopped dimensions,” Libby explains. “The song ‘Hopping Dimensions,’ which I centered the EP around, actually originated from a dream I had where it felt so real and I wondered if I had actually hopped dimensions in my sleep.” Slated for release just after World Dream Day on September 25, the project’s origin is channeled through pensive lyrics and starry-eyed vocals. With melodious acoustic guitars, rich background vocals, and deliberate instrumentation, Libby’s main focus will always be the story before her, with the understanding that each listener will extract something different from her writing.
Libby has always channeled her emotions into her music, perfecting her craft through a straightforward songwriting process: she hits the record button and strums her guitar until something sticks. Her dreamy, indie-pop sound finds beauty in the ordinary, crafting intricate metaphors from the unexpected moments of everyday life. Immersed in dreams and nostalgia, she blends melancholic lyrics with airy harmonies, reflecting on life’s journey.

After a lifetime of playing her dad’s old guitar, Libby took her talents from Rhode Island to Tulane University in New Orleans to study music. Her passion eventually led her to Nashville, where she now resides, spending her days writing between sessions with her producer Alex Bonyata at Blue House Studio. Libby’s insightful perspective on life has guided her through each transition, inspiring her debut project. “I think it’s okay to feel elated and dance in the sun when life feels like summer, and to take the time you need to change and grow when it feels like winter,” she reflects. Libby’s knack for using familiar symbols in profound ways allows listeners to interpret her lyrics uniquely, much like how life’s experiences vary from person to person.
