Lauren Pritchard takes the TLC classic, “Waterfalls” and adds her own amazing spin on it. I love her voice and style. Lauren is one of my favorite artists/singers to emerge in the past year, and it’s amazing to see her gaining so much well deserved momentum before the release of her debut album, Wasted in Jackson. The album comes out in the UK on the 18th of October. Pre-order your copy already, it’s going to be a keeper.
She’s released several EPs, including The Jackson Sessions which featured my favorite tune, “When The Night Kills The Day” (review of the EP). Next came the Painkillers EP, with the massively catchy and successful “Painkillers” (here’s the music video, live performance is also posted below). She also played at this years iTunes Festival in London, opening for Florence and The Machine. Her iTunes Festival 2010 EP from the show is also available in the UK.
Here’s Lauren’s awesome cover of “Waterfalls”:
And just because I really love this song, here’s a live performance of “Painkillers”:
Lauren is one of the artists I’ve been keeping my eye on for a while (since her Spring Awakening days), and I’m really excited for all her success in the UK with the EPs and gigs, and I’m sure it will continue with her album. She’s planning on releasing her songs in the US after the UK, so America, take note and stay tuned. She’s still touring and playing live shows all the time, (sadly, she had to cancel her show in LA, I was really bummed), if you get a chance to see her, don’t miss out.
