Overview
To Lauren Sanderson, rebellion isn’t an aesthetic - it’s a practiced discipline, delivered at full volume. Her newly released self-titled album, LAUREN, alongside her explosive collaboration “COME SAY SUM” with Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst, marks a decisive shift into a louder, more maximalist era where confidence and confrontation sit at the center of the work. Drawing from the hyperactive futurism of Missy Elliott and the abrasive bite of nü-metal, Sanderson distills those influences into something distinctly her own: a swaggering, energetic vision balancing sharp hooks with unfiltered attitude. Built for the lesbian underground as much as the mainstream, LAUREN captures an artist stepping fully into her voice - unapologetically.
Lauren is a singer, songwriter, and performer who has built her career on instinct and independence. Originally from Fort Wayne, Indiana and now based in Nashville, she first gained attention after a TED Talk that helped launch her career - an early signal of the clarity and conviction that would define everything to come. What began as bedroom uploads and DIY releases quickly evolved into a global audience, with over 100 million streams across her catalog and a fiercely loyal fanbase that sees itself reflected in her music.
Now, with LAUREN officially out in the world, Sanderson enters her most fully realized era yet: self-assured, louder, and more sonically aggressive. The project leans into a maximalist blend of alt-pop, hip-hop, and nu-metal influence, channeling both chaos and control. LAUREN is not a reinvention so much as a sharpening - clearer, louder, and less willing to compromise. It’s the sound of an artist who has already proven she can make it, now deciding exactly what “making it” means on her own terms.
