Lindsey Lomis

Lindsey Lomis’s new EP Handle With Care is coming-of-age pop at its very best. The 21-year-old, who’s been one of the most buzzworthy young stars since she was only 17, is harnessing her first taste of real adulthood — the rush of new life experience molding you into someone different, day by day by day — into her music.

Handle With Care comes on the heels of 2023’s Universe. Building on acclaim from the likes of Teen Vogue and American Songwriter and stints on the road with Joshua Bassett and Bruno Major, these releases are sisters to each other. While her songwriting across both releases is bare and diaristic, it’s also imbued with the lightness that comes from letting her full personality beam. Combined with Lomis’s sophisticated musical instincts, honed on everything from alt-rock to nu-jazz, this release is “the full perspective of who I am now,” Lomis says. “It’s just so me, 100% through and through.”

Lomis has spent the last several years honing her live show — her favorite aspect of her career. Her performances have earned her a dedicated fanbase, forged via genuine intimacy and appreciation. Throughout 2024, she’ll be heading out on tour as part of Jacob Collier’s band, a new frontier that’s bound to fling open doors for her. It’s clear that Handle With Care is just the start of a huge year for Lindsey Lomis, and there’s nothing fragile about her star power.
