Style: Singer-songwriter, Country

Country is in its renaissance (not a Beyoncé reference), and, in a playing field where everyone’s welcome, singer-songwriter Lauren O’Brien makes a strong entrance in familiar folk Americana with her debut EP In Another Lifetime. Opener “Weak Days” is solid and simple—soft and gentle in the mix. We believe the song itself “In Another Lifetime,” is ambitious, and O’Brien’s vocals are too shallow to stand out. “Another Shot” brings something refreshing, more uptempo and bubbly pop. While it is an EP to demonstrate her capabilities, we hope there can be more variety and bigger risks on the full-length, which we look forward to hearing.
