Lives Outgrown is the debut solo studio album by the English singer Beth Gibbons, released on 17 May 2024 through Domino Recording Company. Known for her work as the lead vocalist of Portishead, crafted the record over a decade, making it her most personal project to date, delving into topics specific to her walk of life nearing age 60, including "motherhood, anxiety, menopause, and mortality". It was produced by Gibbons alongside James Ford and Lee Harris. Lives Outgrown received a score of 88 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on 22 critics' reviews, which the website categorized as "universal acclaim".Uncut felt that "Lives Outgrown is a quite different prospect to Gibbons' previous work – more intimate, more personal, coloured by the grief and goodbyes she has weathered in recent years. But it is still possible to find a thread that runs from here to Out of Season, and back to Portishead." The Wire called it "timeless and considered" and "a complete, but still complicated, portrait of the intersection of grief and life", and Mojo wrote that while it can "all sound bleak, Lives Outgrown is also very beautiful".
