“...Spear uses her gift for storytelling and artistic vulnerability to help us fill in the cracks of our fractured self-images.”
LA Weekly
“Eliza Spear’s album Right Now, it’s Like This is out now. ‘It’s been one of my greatest honors to see these songs take on another life,’ Spear says.”
The Ism
“Equal parts anthem and introspection, Spear’s unique chamber-americana sound is both powerful and captivating in the way only a born storyteller like her can pull off. This is an album for feeling at peace with sadness.”
Taylor Guitars
“Eliza Spear will perform live streamed benefit concert in support of United Way and providing hand sanitizer, masks, food, and water to our unhoused neighbors.”
Music Mecca
“The album begins with Spear’s emotionally charged voice singing, “I am my own mother / I hold who I once was,” in the opening track, rightfully named, “Mother.” This kicks off a ten-song album exploring themes of regret, forgiveness, grief, time, and loneliness. Though the track is short, only about a minute, it packs a punch that ripples throughout the rest of the album.”
For the Love of Bands
“From the practical take on heartbreak and loss in the title track, to an upbeat way of confronting her own vulnerability in ‘Damn I Forgot I Was Lonely‘ or the confessional angst of ‘Halfwit‘, Eliza has a way of expressing a song in a way that is uniquely her own.”
Parade Magazine
“Spear’s buoyant voice and this thought-provoking song are helping to inspire listeners to share their challenges, hopes and feelings.”
