Baltimore born and Los Angeles based singer-songwriter Lauren Ruth Ward is one of the most exciting emerging voices in rock music today. Her latest single is called "Suburban Ego", and the track follows her recent release "Messiah"- a psych pop-rock single all about her own sexual awakening.
With "Suburban Ego", Lauren Ruth Ward strips it all back, with emotive, bare guitar riffs, stunning vocal harmonies and a charismatic delivery we have come to expect from the songwriter. Her husky and honey-dipped vocals effortlessly glide atop gentle folk-dipped, soaring soundscapes. Thematically, "Suburban Ego" touches upon the ego but in a lens of self love. Sometimes the ego gets the best of us and Lauren Ruth Ward reminds us all to embrace a humble nature and give our own selves kindness in the process. Lyrics including, "suburban ego and a man beneath the moon / everybody's got one", relate the theme of the relatability and universal theme of the ego and how it gets in the way of our own happiness.
Lauren Ruth Ward began sharing music under her own name in 2016. Her ferocious and stadium worthy live shows entice listeners into her own world of decadent rock n' roll. "Suburban Ego" is the latest single off of her upcoming EP Mindseye set for release early next year.
