Liz Phair

On April 28, 2004, Liz Phair graced the stage of 'The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn' to perform her song 'Extraordinary,' a track from her self-titled album released earlier that same year. This album marked a significant shift in her career, as it was her first major label release after years of indie success, transitioning from the iconic 'Exile in Guyville' to a more commercial sound. During this live performance, you can truly sense the mix of excitement and pressure she must have felt, stepping into a spotlight that was both bright and daunting. Interestingly, this album—and the performance of 'Extraordinary'—was Phair's attempt to redefine her sound for a new generation, creating a bridge between her indie roots and mainstream appeal. It showcases her growth while also inviting both longtime fans and new listeners to join her on this evolving journey.
