In 2018, McAlpine released an 8-song album, Indigo.[8] She studied in Spain in fall 2019, where she wrote her first full album, Give Me A Minute,[8] and she released the 13-song album in August 2020.[9][10] Give Me a Minute has been streamed millions of times on Spotify and other digital service providers.[11][12] Dallas Observer named it one of the best albums of 2020,[13] and BBC Media Centre has called her an "up-and-coming vocalist".[14] In April 2021, McAlpine released an 8-song EP, When the World Stopped Moving: The Live EP.[15] She made her late-night debut on November 22, 2021, performing "erase me" on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.[16]
