"I created this album as both a journey into my life's trials and transformations, as well as a catalogue of the human spirit in its many dimensions – ones that defy linear narratives or even representation in words at all," Lauren said.

Lauren sets to songs her lifelong journeys of transformation, spiritual rebirth, and fearless explorations of the human condition. This album is a story of an irrepressible spirit and a tribute to universal quests for freedom and truth.

"I hope that this album will resonate with listeners as a sonic portrait and living soundscape that opens doors beyond everyday stories and experiences into surrealist, other-worldly realms of beauty, freedom, and truth," she added.

The album will be available to stream and purchase on all major music platforms upon release. To learn more, visit Lauren's official website at www.laurencoylerosen.com. She can also be found on Spotify and Wikipedia.
