On Friday, rock singer Lauren Sanderson dropped her new album Lauren. Released via Pack Records, is a described as a maximalist cocktail of nü-metal ambiance, bratty pop flippancy, and killer lyrical wordplay. The album release follows the recent news of Sanderson will perform at ACL Fest in Austin this year as well as join in on some Limp Bizkit dates this fall followed by a tour to be announced.
From publicity:
Loud, intentional, and unbothered, the new album will immediately click with those who hold dear the late 90s/early 00s musical landscape, when artists like Missy Elliot, KoRn, P!nk, Lil Wayne and Limp Bizkit were twisting together genres with IDGAF bravado, while also boasting the fearless modern finesse of modern day generation-blurrers like Charli xcx, Ashnikko and Addison Rae.
Ferociously sexy yet soft, smart yet unhinged, feminine and masculine, Lauren embraces its polar opposites to create a world where partying, chainsmoking, and stealing someone’s girlfriend go hand-in-hand with internet romance, gaslighting yourself into confidence, and those moments of sincere human connection amidst a chaotic night out.
“I knew exactly what I was doing on this album.. and I did it anyway,” Lauren Sanderson said in Friday’s press release. “This is that ‘blow your speakers out, makeout with that girl in the bathroom, drive too fast down the highway’ album. That’s Lauren.”
Alongside today’s release, Anderson also dropped her collaboration with Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst, on the remix of album cut “Come Say Sum.” The original track was inspired by Limp Bizkit’s Woodstock ‘99 performance.
Lauren is available on major music streaming platforms. Watch the video for “Come Say Sum” with Fred Durst below:
