 Today, Lauren Davidson released her new single, “Pouring Rain.” Co-produced by Grammy Award winner Bart Migal (Bjork) and Cristian Camilo Castro (Musical Director, Guitarist, and cowriter with Davidson), the single was written as a collaboration with Lauren's father Danny Davidson and pulls from the pop singer-songwriter genre, while incorporating elements of contemporary country, a la Maren Morris. Davidson notes, “ I had been spending a lot of time between shows writing but was waiting for a release until something felt right. My fans have really responded to this song each time I played it live at a show. Sometimes I’m hesitant to play a ballad but some of my favorite songs are ballads- they’re timeless. Like Elton John said it’s easy to write a sad song, this song just sort of poured out - no pun intended... well pun intended.” Here, Davidson answers her Essential 8 and talks songwriting, her dream venues, Starbucks, and more! Where do you draw inspiration from when writing? I draw inspiration from a lot of things. From my personal experiences for sure and from the people around me. As I write with different co-writers every time is different but sometimes someone just has a cool idea or word or phrase that ends up being a song. I still always try to put a piece of myself in every song. I want to sing songs I relate to but I also just love telling stories through song. What’s the best advice you have ever gotten from another musician? Be patient, be authentic and keep doing what you’re doing. It’s so hard to get caught up in the little things so I think that was very important. What’s your favorite/”go-to” food on the road? I’m obsessed with Starbucks egg white bites and allll the coffee. ️ What’s your favorite venue and why? I love iPlay America in Freehold NJ. There is always an amazing crowd there and it’s in my hometown so my first show there was so special! I’m looking forward to opening for Maddie and Tae there on July 28th! What’s your dream venue and why?
I have two NYC venues that I am dying to play! The first is Madison Square Garden because duh it’s MSG and just amazing and the second is a smaller venue - Irving Plaza. The first time I saw a concert there I was like I want to play here someday. It’s just a cool vibe and I’ve seen some great shows there! Favorite (or first) concert you have ever attended? My first concert ever was Bryan Adams. Favorite thing to do on a day off? Absolutely nothing! Binge Netflix and drink wine Is there a recent release you cannot stop listening to? Betty Who’s cover of "I Love You Always Forever." I loved the original when it first came out and her cover of it is just great. It’s a feel good song for me. www.laurendavidsonmusic.com www.facebook.com/ laurendavidsonmusic www.instagram.com/ laurenndavidson www.twitter.com/ laurenndavidson
