So many of the lyrics on this EP are very confessional. 6lack added his essence to it, and it took it to where it had to go. I love when I can say something simply and convey a concept effectively with ease I feel like I did that with that song. Also “On Guard” with 6lack is one of my favorites.
I was really fascinated to see the feedback on that one. I don’t think it’s a sound that's been explored a lot. I feel like sonically it’s really different. I like them all so I’m kind of annoying in that sense. “Scattered” was one of the ones I was most excited about. What song were you must excited for people to hear? It’s just a bit more vulnerable than it ever was. Getting to do that in such a way that it’s unique to me I think is definitely the biggest difference. I feel like my personal gift in this life is the way that I express myself. But I feel like this is always where I was meant to be: Creating the stuff I feel and sharing it with the world. When you’re just yourself, and you’re putting your literal heart and soul on a platter it can be a little more daunting to have people’s opinions come back at you. When you’re in a group, the five of you or the four of you are taking on the court of public opinion. How does the lead up to PRELUDE differ from anything you released with Fifth Harmony? I just have grown more firm in that knowledge and truth in myself. I think with this project I'm going to solidify that, so there’s not going to be anymore mistaking. I don’t think I’ll always need one, but I’ve opened myself up a lot more to the possibility of creating with other people and still having my sonic voice acknowledged and present. That doesn’t mean I’m always going to have a co-writer. I’ve been through the phase of, “I don’t want anybody to do anything I want to do it all by myself.” And then I kind of grew past that once I realized collaboration is the best way to bring out what you have inside you. That kind of really disconnected me from my songwriter-self because I just felt like I wasn’t capable of writing. There were moments where we were creatively involved but for the most part it was people writing songs that we would sing. When I was in the group I wasn’t as creatively involved. I’ve definitely grown into myself as a songwriter I think. You’ve had writing credits all the way back to some of the earliest Fifth Harmony albums and co-wrote every track on this EP. PRELUDE is just an introduction it’s how I named it.

This is me expressing myself in my full authenticity. I feel like now there’s no impediment to who I am sonically now. I fought to make sure it came out with “Lento.” To make sure it made a little bit of sense where I was going sonically. “50 Feet” was the one that was the closest to it.
The other songs - although they were still great songs because I wouldn’t have put out any songs if I didn’t f-k with them - they just weren’t exactly telling the story that I think I’m telling sonically. One hundred percent written by me and me putting something out there I really wanted to. “Expectations” was definitely all from my heart. I think that kind of speaks to how I felt. Only four songs came out in like three years. How would you say the music differs from your earlier solo material? The overwhelming feeling is just gratitude that I’ve been able to finish this the way I envisioned and am able to put it out the way I envisioned without any obstacles. This is really happening!? Who the f-k am I if I’m not creating this project?" This has been my whole identity for the past four years. I’m also teetering between this state of like, “Oh my God. I have moments where I’m feeling incredibly excited and emotional. How do you feel to be at the finish line with PRELUDE? With plans for a tour in November and an album on the way in 2022, Jauregui is just getting started.īelow, Lauren Jauregui tells PopCrush all about her EP's breathtaking visuals (including footage from a docu-style live performance), what's next for her and the most important lesson she's learned after nearly a decade in the industry. PRELUDE is also a promise of more to come. The EP was released on her own label Attunement Records. And Jauregui certainly has the vocal ability to back up that comparison.įor Jauregui, the ability to express herself was hard-fought and achieved by going her own way. Both were released by an artist coming into herself and gaining the ability to say what needs to be said. The song and EP draw comparisons to Christina Aguilera's opus Stripped. "I'm sorry, but I can't love you anymore," she confesses over mournful strings. Meanwhile, "Sorry" - a vocal masterclass that details the decision to step away from a relationship - is handled with restrained expertise.
