Logan Taylor emerges with her long-awaited debut album ‘Light Me Up’ — a record that distills over a decade of songwriting into 12 tracks of vulnerability, resilience, and unflinching honesty. Blending Americana, indie rock, folk, and pop, Taylor’s sound is at once genre-defying and deeply rooted in lyrical storytelling, drawing listeners into a sonic world that feels not just written, but lived.

With more than a million streams across her early singles and coverage from outlets including CLASH, EARMILK, and Notion — all achieved independently — Logan has already established herself as a rising voice whose music resonates far beyond boundaries. The release of ‘Light Me Up’ cements her as an artist capable of balancing raw emotion with magnetic energy, weaving heartbreak, self-discovery, and the tension of holding on versus letting go into a cohesive, cathartic body of work.

Lead single “Electric Heart” sets the tone — a driving, pop-infused anthem that channels the bold edge of The Pretenders with the expansive, emotional pull of Angel Olsen, while carrying Taylor’s unmistakably distinct vocal presence. Elsewhere, tracks like “White Wolf” brood with darker Americana grit, “Tequila Sunrise” burns with cinematic intensity, and “Dreams” rises as a sweeping ballad of memory and longing, underscoring the emotional breadth that makes the record so compelling.

Backed by years of honing her craft in the studio and on stage, Logan has developed a reputation for intimate, captivating performances that highlight her gift for storytelling. Her ability to connect with audiences mirrors the emotional pull of her recordings. She not only delivers on the promise of her earlier singles but also lays the foundation for an exciting new chapter — one that positions her as a bold and authentic artist in today’s alt-Americana landscape.

With its sweeping textures and genre-blurring sound, ‘Light Me Up’ is the record that marks Logan Taylor’s arrival and her readiness to step onto a bigger stage. Fans of Americana, indie, and alt-leaning pop-rock alike will find something to hold onto as she steps into the spotlight with a sound that is wholly her own.

Q&A

What was the process of this album like, having been written over the course of a decade?

I wrote most of the album in two waves. After writing the title track and three others in a short burst, I realized I had the foundation of a record. Then, about three years later, after more life had happened, I wrote the bulk of the rest within another concentrated period of time. Once the songs were nearly there, I demoed several and shaped a lot of the direction you hear now. From there, it was a long process of refining, recording slowly, and making small tweaks right up until the very end.

You blend a lot of different sounds together. Is there one that is your favorite?

I’ve always loved a wide range of sounds, but the more atmospheric tracks like Anna and Dreams are especially close to me. I love songs that feel haunted, that almost play like a dream.

Your voice sounds great on “Electric Heart.” What is your process like in the studio for vocals?

I’ll usually do a quick warmup, but honestly, I don’t have much of a set process. I had limited time to record vocals for each track, so my focus was on channeling the emotion and getting back into the headspace I was in when I first wrote the song. That’s what kept the vocals full of feeling.

The lyrics throughout are very cathartic and personal. Do you draw from real-life experiences, or do you sing from the POV of a character sometimes?

A lot of my songs sit somewhere between the two. They’re rooted in my real life, but I don’t write like I’m journaling. I’m more focused on capturing what the song itself is trying to say — sometimes that overlaps completely with my own experience, and other times it bends toward imagination or storytelling.

What upcoming shows do you have to celebrate this new release?

Right now my focus has been on the rollout itself, but I’ll have show announcements coming soon. I’m really looking forward to bringing these songs to life in live shows.

Is there anything we didn’t touch upon that you’d like to mention?

Just that I’m grateful for anyone taking the time to listen to Light Me Up. This album has been with me for so long, and finally letting it go feels surreal in the best way. I’m excited for what’s next.
