When I heard singer-songwriter Lizzy Noe call her latest album a video game, I was immediately intrigued.As someone who grew up playing Final Fantasy Having played many other role-playing games, the album presented as an epic journey filled with leveling up and discovering allies felt right to me.

No also talks about how she struggled with genre labels that didn't reflect the music she makes, and what inspired Beyoncé to break out of that mold.
