LAUREN AQUILINA- performing w/ Taylor Swift, working w/ Little Mix - a podcast by Lauren Engel

Bristol born vocalist and songwriter Lauren Aquilina found her start with her honest songwriting, piano-led ballads and a loyal fanbase who stuck with her through a trilogy of formative EPs. Supported by BBC Introducing, The Line Of Best Fit, Popjustice, The Independent among other tastemakers, this chapter of her career saw her hand-picked by Taylor Swift as an opener for the 1989 tour and culminated in the release of her debut album ‘Isn’t It Strange’ through Island Records in 2016.

Following the release of the album and an open struggle with depression, Aquilina decided to put her career as an artist to one side, and focus on life as a songwriter. During her first year of writing for others, she co-wrote American singer/songwriter Fletcher’s single “I Believe You” which was inspired by her own #MeToo experiences, and has been working alongside some of pop’s hottest names.

Now it’s September 2018 and Aquilina has taken almost two years to compose, create and evolve her sound and she’s making the best music of her career. Taking inspiration from the raw emotion of Alanis Morissette mixed with the soaring pop melodies of Robyn, comeback single ‘Psycho’ sees an artist coming into their own and suggests that Lauren Aquilina is well and truly returning for good.
