The urgency and power of the sound immediately establishes her as an exciting new UK talent.
With a poignant and cathartic sound, Lauren Walton is a London-based artist who sticks out on her debut single for the sheer emotion and rawness that is poured into it, and the adversity and pain that seems to have been channeled into the sound.
This debut release is ‘Hardwired’, an intense, but sonically beautiful testament to the artist’s perseverance and grit that she has faced on her journey to getting to today. Her vocals have an effortless, soaring quality to them but this does nothing to detract from the deliberation and the emphatic nature of her delivery. The track builds and grows into something otherworldly, captivating in its sheer defiance and poise. There is a huge mainstream appeal within this, both within the timeless and affecting nature of the sound to the sheer emotion and eye-catching honesty of the lyrics. This is a really powerful debut from an artist who could be onto something really special.
