Lauren Ray

self release

WE SAY

It’s been just over four years since we last featured London-based singer-songwriter Lauren Ray and now she is back with this, the first single from her forthcoming, yet to be named third album. Having had to stop touring with Paul Carrack as the pandemic struck, Lauren used the time, alongside writing her new album, to become a Life & Success coach and launch a personal development business Courage Core. 24 draws on this experience to change her life and offers, lyrically, support and motivation for others. Backed by a warm and uplifting pop production by Kaity Rae, 24 is a perfection addition to motivational and feel-good pop playlists. The track has already been confirmed for daytime plays on BBC Three Counties Radio, but we expect more regional support and would be perfect for spot plays on Radio 2 too. Previous tastemaker support has come from 6 Music, BBC Introducing and BBC London, while her music has been synced to Love Island, the Champions League Final and BBC TV. A beautifully powerful and motivational pop offering.
