A partnership between Ellen Hodges, Omayya Atout, and Sarah Burnett, Lauren Marie draws from moody electronica and new R&B to make their own brand of forward thinking pop. Their newest single ‘Regress’ is a perfect introduction to the group, highlighting everything they do best.
The magic of ‘Regress’ comes from the contrast between sugary sweet melodies and dense claustrophobic atmospheres. Their mastery of tension and release creates a rollercoaster of emotions.
“The future’s kind of boring,” Hodges sings in a sarcastic drawl. The industrial beats suggest a dystopian vision, but the uplifting chorus always returns just in time to keep things from getting too dark. With its conflicted optimism, ‘Regress’ is a song that perfectly captures the mindset of its time.
‘Regress’ is available everywhere Feb. 25, 2020. Music video available the following day.
