Liz Cooper has shared “Baby Steps,” the final preview of her forthcoming album New Day, due out February 20th, 2026. A driving track layered with gorgeous mellotron and string flourishes that serves as the album’s closer, “Baby Steps” is “is the beginning of my new day,” shares Cooper. “I was falling in love while simultaneously going through heartbreak over and over again and I really wanted this to be the last song on the record as sort of a hopeful send off. All of the songs and the stories lead up to this one.”
The Vermont-based singer/songwriter made her third album during a period of intense self-discovery and reinvention. She moved to New York for the first time, weathered a pandemic, came out to herself after falling in love with a friend, and experienced her first queer relationship and breakup, all in the course of a few years. New Day marks both a personal and a musical revolution for Cooper – a plunge into psychedelic pop depths and a fullhearted reflection of a whirlwind chapter in her life. These songs scintillate with the kind of self-confidence that only beams through after you’ve aimed a sharp gaze inward and realized that whatever you see will always keep darting ahead of you.
