American singer-songwriter Elizabeth Clark Phair (born 1967) rose to prominence with her 1993 debut Exile in Guyville and became an influential figure in 1990s indie rock.

Debut Exile in Guyville (1993) is widely considered a landmark album. The 2003 self-titled album was produced in part by The Matrix and represented a more commercial shift; that release reached number 27 on the Billboard charts according to the reviews.

DeBaser reviews treat Liz Phair as a pivotal 1990s indie-rock voice whose debut Exile In Guyville is hailed as revolutionary. Subsequent albums (Whip-Smart, Whitechocolatespaceegg) receive praise for musical growth; the 2003 self-titled release and later efforts draw criticism for a commercial turn. Overall reception on DeBaser is mixed, oscillating between admiration and disappointment.

For:Fans of 1990s indie rock, critics, and listeners who appreciate candid, provocative singer-songwriter work.
