At the Beach, in Every Life is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Gigi Perez. It was released on April 25, 2025, by Outtahere and Island Records.[1][2] Produced by Perez, Noah Weinman, and Aidan Hobbs, the album touches on themes of love, faith, religion and grief.[3]

Background

[edit]

The album was initially announced by Perez on Instagram on April 14, 2025.[4] The album is largely a tribute to her older sister Celene, who passed away in 2020.[5] In an interview with People, Perez said that she would've never been able to create the album "had I stayed where I was, and had I not gone independent".[6]

Marcy Donelson of AllMusic called the album a "set of mostly driving, upset songs, rather than quietly plaintive ones".[7] Jem Aswad of Variety said that the album is "not a conventional debut album by any stretch".[8]
