Lauren Mayberry by Scarlett Casciello
Lauren Mayberry will play gigs in Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester and London during October.
Lauren Mayberry has shared her debut solo single Are You Awake?.
“Are You Awake? is a song that started on a rainy day last December with Tobias Jesso Jr,” the CHVRCHES vocalist said.
“I was thinking a lot about loneliness and homesickness, and as soon as Tobias started playing the chords, the lyrics and melody came to me really quickly. I finished the song with my friend Matthew Koma, who really understood what I was trying to say.”
For a long time, I couldn’t imagine doing anything outside of CHVRCHES but I think some things that I needed to write had to be done from purely my own point of view. I never really thought I’d write a piano ballad, or a solo album full stop, so life really is full of surprises. I am really looking forward to this chapter and can’t wait for people to hear more of the music.
