Source-derived summary

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. Produced by Perez, Noah Weinman, and Aidan Hobbs, the album touches on themes of love ("Sailor Song", "At the Beach, in Every Life"), faith, religion, and grief ("Fable", "Crown", and "Survivor's Guilt", an instrumental interlude which leads directly into "Crown").

Background

The album was initially announced by Perez on Instagram on April 14, 2025. The album is largely a tribute to her older sister Celene Perez, who died in 2020. 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".

Critical reception

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