Lauren Tate announces new solo album ‘Songs For Sad Girls’
Lauren Tate has announced a new solo album!
Titled Songs For Sad Girls, the upcoming solo album from the HANDS OFF GRETEL frontwoman is scheduled to be released in September this year.
The upcoming solo album features Tate stripped back to a softer, raw Americana sad-pop sound with her first solo album in five years. Tate recorded and self-produced 11 of the 14 tracks in her home studio and designed all the album artwork and merchandise too. Speaking about the upcoming solo album, Lauren says, “I planned to get my album produced by someone when I could afford it, but there was a certain magic and honesty captured in my recordings that I knew would really move people. My lyrics are honest and brutal with songs about domestic abuse, body image, feminism and fear of dying. I wanted it to sound like a girl writing in her diary, unapologetic and imperfect like real girls are.”
Alongside the announcement of the new solo album, Lauren has also released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; titled What About The Kids. ”The song is from a child’s point of view speaking to her father addressing gun violence in America,” she explains. “I wanted the song to highlight issues around gun control and the importance of children’s future in a world where nobody is listening to them. I wrote this song to sing for those that won’t ever get the chance to do so.”

Songs For Sad Girls is set for release on September 20th via Trash Queen Records.
