Review: Lyn Lapid – Buzzkill

There will be times in our life when we discover an undeniable talent in our music rotation. That type of artist who makes you say, “Well, of course this person was meant to do this for a living!” I’ve had that feeling with several key artists in my music discovery, and I think I’ve just found the next great one. Lyn Lapid is a 22 year old music sensation from Baltimore, Maryland who started to gain a loyal social media following with her ukulele and acoustic guitar-driven covers of popular songs. Her original song of “Producer Man” in 2020 was her first taste of fame, but given the breathtaking vocals and production found on her debut album, Buzzkill, it certainly won’t be her last brush of notoriety. Lapid’s sound is somewhere in the realm of the quieter moments of Billie Eilish, paired with a starry-eyed vision for her music like Olivia Rodrigo, and the vocal range of Amy Winehouse. Lyn Lapid shimmers all over Buzzkill and cements herself as a marquee artist to watch.
