Lauren’s first album features a wide array of songs, the album opens with a Billie Holiday styled tune “My One & Only”, then drops to the darker overtones of the Anthony Wilson arranged “Love For Sale”, and transitions into a swinging “Mack The Knife”. This album also includes memorable covers of popular songs like “Blue Bayou” (Roy Orbison), “Superstar” (Carpenters), and to the country influenced, “Why They Call It Falling” (Lee Ann Womack). Lauren White also displays an impressive talent for song writing with three original songs here including a retro-ish “Do You Remember”, a heartbreaking ballad “All I Do Is Cry” and an up-tempo “Brand New Love”.

“Thanks to Bill, Anthony, Joe, Mark, Chuck, Ricky and Brian. You are all the phenomenal musicians! I never ever dreamed I would work with such a great and talented group of guys. Uncle Ying and Uncle Joe: thank you for giving me this opportunity and treating me oh so well. Ya’ll are such great guys! Uncle Mike thanks for being the coolest cotton sock wearing engineer ever! Thank you to everyone who helped me along the way… Mark Carrol, Rosana Eckert, Brian Piper, Jack Waldenmier, and Crystal Clear studios. Each of you helped form the woman I am today.”

– Lauren White
