Alex Lahey – ‘They Wouldn’t Let Me In’

Lahey announced The Answer Is Always Yes in February alongside the single ‘Good Time’. The album will also include recent single ‘The Sky Is Melting’, March’s ‘They Wouldn’t Let Me In’ and 2022 singles ‘Shit Talkin” and ‘Congratulations’.

The album is the follow up to 2019’s The Best of Luck Club. For the first time, Lahey worked with co-writers. In particular, she collaborated closely with Irish producer Jacknife Lee, whose résumé includes working with the likes of U2, R.E.M., Taylor Swift, The Killers and Bloc Party.

“I feel like if you’re saying yes and you’re exploring, you’re always moving,” Lahey said when announcing the album earlier this year. “That’s the part of life that I’m in right now. I just don’t wanna stop.”
