LAUREN SANDERSON is no longer just happy to be here. While her acclaimed 2020 debut
full-length, Midwest Kids Can Make It Big, was brimming with wide-eyed wonder, the
LA-via-Indiana singer/songwriter is kicking down the door to announce her next era with the
brand-new single “Hi.”
Produced by Keith Varon (Machine Gun Kelly, The Aces), the first track from her forthcoming
self-released EP marks yet another career highlight for Sanderson, who turned heads in 2019
opening for FINNEAS and has built a cult following thanks to her no-holds-barred honesty,
relentless DIY work ethic and electric persona. MTV, Billboard, Zane Lowe’s Beats 1, Alternative
Press and Spotify’s New Music Friday have all signed on in support of her swirling, intoxicating
blend of rock, pop, hip-hop and R&B – imbued with the same charisma and conviction that
made her a YouTube presence and even earned her a TED Talk at age 19 in 2015.
“I don’t want to play the underdog anymore,” she declares. “I know what I’m capable of, and I’m
ready to bring the star power.”
