Some debut albums feel like introductions. Logan Taylor’s ‘Light Me Up’ feels more like an arrival. After more than a decade of writing, refining, and finding her voice, Taylor finally pulls back the curtain with a collection of songs that are as lived-in as they are luminous.
Across twelve tracks, she blends Americana grit, indie rock swagger, folk intimacy, and pop sparkle into something uniquely her own. The opener and lead single “Electric Heart” charges forward with infectious energy, echoing the bite of The Pretenders and the sweeping emotion of Angel Olsen. From there, Taylor keeps the ride unpredictable: “White Wolf” stalks with dark, brooding Americana, “Tequila Sunrise” smolders with cinematic drama, and “Dreams” soars as a ballad full of memory and longing.
It’s a record that never settles into one lane, yet always feels cohesive, tied together by her unmistakable voice and fearless storytelling.
What makes ‘Light Me Up’ so compelling is the way it balances vulnerability with strength. Taylor writes with unflinching honesty about heartbreak, self-discovery, and the push-and-pull of letting go versus holding on, but she delivers it all with a magnetic energy that makes the heaviness feel cathartic instead of crushing.
Logan Taylor has proven she can connect with listeners far beyond the indie circuit. ‘Light Me Up’ is the sound of an artist who knows exactly who she is and is finally ready to step onto a bigger stage.
