New Album Available Now!
Released June 2022
LUSH (Cozy Records), the title of Lauren Glick's new album, is about as spot-on of a description of the music as you can get. Nine songs that sound as if they've been braised to perfection in her own Blues brand of 'special sauce' for hours on end to bring out every drop of musical flavor. From the opening notes of "Don't Add Up," the lead-off track, echoes of decades of vintage blues, rock and soul all collide in well-thought-out harmony. The guitar-forward "Living In Pain," vintage funk of "Little White Lies" and staccato swagger of "Perfectly Capable" strike a ying-yang balance with the Laurel Canyon gospel-tints of "Poor Boy," "Love and Peace" and "Don't Let The Rain In." Those are all sweetly juxtaposed against the crescendos of “Permanent” and the heavyweight blues ballad “I'm Onto You,” making the album a real showcase for not only her powerful voice, but her strength as a songwriter. "Over the past few years I've really embraced the blues,” she notes. “I've always loved it musically, but I came to realize that, as singer, it's a very comfortable and natural place for me. My voice is really throaty and soulful, that's what flows from me pretty much effortlessly. So I decided to lean into that full-force over the past couple years and that really helped me find my niche." Sometimes it takes a minute to find the right grooves to mine and put it all together in the right way, and with LUSH, she's taken the time to do just that.
Critical Acclaim for LUSH:
"Glick’s vocals gleam and glow... she bridges the homespun blues with the refined, the lush with the straightforward." - American Blues Scene
