Whitney Lyman is an American singer-songwriter who made her mark out of the illustrious Seattle music scene and is now based in Los Angeles. Her music is a unique blend of indie rock and alternative pop, featuring powerful and emotional vocals, inspiring lyrics, and dynamic arrangements. Often compared to Fleetwood Mac, Amy Winehouse, and Adele, Whitney crafts songs that are both deeply personal and universally resonant. Whitney has performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! with Grammy-nominated ODESZA, packed arena shows with Big Wild, opened for artists such as Tom Odell and The Bird and the Bee, and played at music festivals including Capitol Hill Block Party, the NAMM Show 2025 official stage, and Mastering the Music Business in Bucharest, Romania. She has toured extensively across the US and Europe, earning acclaim for her evocative performances. In 2024, she made her UK debut at FOCUS:Wales International Showcase Festival and returned six months later for a UK tour. After an overwhelmingly positive reception, she is set to return for her third UK tour, including performances at FOCUS:Wales 2025 and The Dublin Castle in London, supporting her upcoming EP Becoming You. Whitney is also endorsed by several top brands in the music industry, including Gibson Guitar, Telefunken Mics, Casio Keyboards, Mackie Gear, and On-Stage Stands.
Supermoon is a lush, fairy-tale-like composition that transports listeners into a world of castles, knights, and epic love stories.
A deeply collaborative effort, Becoming You was created in partnership with acclaimed multi-instrumentalist and producer Cherish Alexander (Cyndi Lauper, Josie Cotton, Tiffany). Introduced by legendary songwriter Alan Roy Scott (Celine Dion, Cyndi Lauper, Cher), Whitney and Cherish found an effortless creative synergy, crafting songs that bridge introspective lyricism with lush, immersive instrumentation. Recorded between Poodle Pop Studios and Kitten Robot Studios in Los Angeles, the EP features an all-star lineup of musicians, including George Bellias (Bon Jovi, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears), Jano Janosik (The Violets, Bella Bazarria, Stewboss), and renowned composer Andrew Joslyn (Kesha, Suzanne Vega, Duff McKagan), whose orchestral arrangements elevate the EP’s emotional resonance. Engineered and mixed by Paul Roessler (Josie Cotton, Leah Andreone, Pat Smear) and mastered by the legendary Dave Donnelly (Beck, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Aerosmith), Becoming You is as sonically rich as it is emotionally profound.
The album artwork, a striking portrait by fine artist Clifford Bailey, takes inspiration from Joni Mitchell’s iconic Clouds cover, visually reflecting the introspective nature of the EP.
‘The Time is Now’ is the gentle and melodic latest single from Whitney Lyman. A wonderful blend of Lyman’s soft and subdued vocals and her potently colorful compositions.
American singer and songwriter Whitney Lyman’s return is a spectacular time. ‘The Time is Now’ is a sweetly paced and gorgeously crafted piece of alternative pop that comes with unforgettable melodies and a delightfully lighthearted atmosphere, as well as a vivid and engaging arrangement that’s gently full of color and detail.
Whitney Lyman’s melancholy-laced voice is approachable on ‘The Time is Now’. The sweet and subdued vocals are a pleasure to listen to, with palpable feeling, a warm texture, an inviting delivery, and introspective lyrics. Musically, ‘The Time is Now’ is wonderfully melodic. Mostly revolving around minor progressions, the chorus starts on a cheerful note but is then quickly pulled back down to the minor feel with one especially beautiful chord movement and melody accompaniment. The arrangement is just as soft and sweet, with restraint being an obvious priority to most of the instrumental lines. The guitar is thin and minimal, the drums are steady and pushed back in the mix, making for more room for the rest of the instruments to breathe.
‘The Time is Now’ has a wonderful pace and a wonderful melody to go along with it. A well written and well played song, Whitney Lyman proves herself as a gifted songwriter capable of penning down provocative melodies and crafting moving chord sequences.
