Lauren Mayberry live at O2 Academy, Manchester (Gary Mather)
Lauren Mayberry was in Manchester on October 8th.
Lauren Mayberry is out on the road in the UK after launching her solo career last month with Are You Awake?, a song with the CHVRCHES singer said, ‘started on a rainy day last December with Tobias Jesso Jr’:
“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.
