My new EP “this is what i get” is a themed collection of stories that all lend themselves to the consequences of choice. Good and bad, my choices lead me into and through a bad mental state and a better one, getting into situationships and over them, and even the thrill of a spooky evening with someone special - I am my greatest downfall and champion.

“brown paper bag” is the first song in the twelve chapter musical story of my life.

Whether protecting me from hyperventilating after a race or being my only friend during high school lunch, the brown paper bag has always been by my side, literally and figuratively.

This song is the beginning of my journey. The 12 songs and 3 EP’s coming out in 2023 are the road map of my life, through both emotional and mental health challenges.  Each single pulls back the curtain a bit more, and I’m so excited to share each piece with you.

I hope my music can help people by showing that no one is alone and that everyone faces obstacles.

This is the first song off of my debut EP, "The Lisa Heller Project". After working with a label on several electro-pop releases, I realized following the industry rules (commercial sound, heavy makeup and hair) just wasn’t for me. But being independent for this project, I finally feel free. I’ve been able to hone in on a much more vulnerable sound than I ever thought I could. Focused on vocals and piano, this raw sound and feel are intertwined with my personal struggles with anxiety, isolation and uncertainty. I’ve gone to great depths to share a part of myself in each of the songs. I am so excited to release this new music, with videos to follow! "Figure It Out" is about, well, figuring myself out and growing up.

Figure It Out

“Closure” is the third single off of Lisa Heller's debut EP, The Lisa Heller Project. Lisa says "it's about wanting closure but not really".

East coast born and raised Lisa Heller started writing music at the age of 13 in her bedroom as a creative outlet for her anxiety. While still in high school, Lisa quickly gained a small local following of fans around her CT hometown after placing in national songwriting competitions and gaining support of local radio and newspapers. Released from her college dorm room, her anthemic debut single "Hope" reached over 1.5M+ views on YouTube. With further releases, she caught the attention of outlets like Huffington Post, started playing to thousands on the east coast college circuit, and made her SXSW debut.

In late 2018, Lisa moved to Los Angeles and was quickly pulled into following the music industry “rules”. This led to her release of a series of commercial electro-pop singles. But then, at a high school convention, she played a new song solo on piano that she had written about depression called “Deep End,” and the audience’s emotional response spoke volumes to her. Lisa soon realized she needed to hone in on her raw, authentic sound...

Then, The Lisa Heller Project came to life. Consisting of a four song EP and four experimental music videos, the project features piano-centric production and poignant lyrics. Track list: 1. “Figure It Out,” 2. “Pulling Away,” 3. “Closure,” and finally, 4. “Deep End”.

You been keeping tabs on me
Watching all my stories
Heard I broke it off with her and I’m back in Kansas City
Thought that we were history
Now you say you miss me 
Tryna drop back in my life as quickly as you left 

It took so long A hundred self-destructive nights til I moved on
And now you got the nerve to say that you were wrong
That you miss my songs
Want me in your arms
Oh

But all I know is
I don't want you back 
I don't want you back
And you should’ve known
That I don't love like that
I don't love like that no
Every time I take a step forward you pull me back
Don’t waste my time with your lies yeah I’m over that 
All I know is
I don't want you back 
I don't want you back
No

Tryna meet for coffee
Telling me you’re sorry
The thought of me with someone else has got you green with envy 
Put your hand on my knee
Thought that you could tempt me
But I can’t forget, I can’t forget how

It took so long A hundred self-destructive nights til I moved on
And now you got the nerve to say that you were wrong
That you miss my songs
Want me in your arms
Oh

But all I know is
I don't want you back 
I don't want you back
And you should’ve known
That I don't love like that
I don't love like that
Every time I take a step forward you pull me back
Don’t waste my time with your lies yeah I’m over that 
All I know is
I don't want you back 
I don't want you back
It took so long A hundred self-destructive nights til I moved on
And now you got the nerve to say that you were wrong
That you miss my songs
Want me in your arms
Oh

But all I know is
I don't want you back 
I don't want you back
And you should’ve known
That I don't love like that
I don't love like that
Every time I take a step forward you pull me back
Don’t waste my time with your lies yeah I’m over that 
All I know is
I don't want you back 
I don't want you back
No
