It’s been 3 years since Texas singer Lauryn Harris released her debut project, Inside My Head, but the release of her latest project was well worth the wait! Lauryn recently dropped a new mixtape titled Touch N Go, and each track is a vibe! Lauryn has a sound that reminds you of the Neo-soul legend, Erykah Badu, an underrated talent for sure.
“I came up with the name ‘TOUCH N GO’ because I think that’s been the theme of my life for the last few years. Nothing lasts forever so you take in what you’ve learned from people, places, etc. and then move on to what’s next. Change is inevitable so you have to figure out how to adapt. I’m still true to myself in this project but I allowed myself to experiment with different sounds and challenge myself as a songwriter.”
From her previous project til now, you can definitely hear the growth and maturity with each track. The lyrics are relatable especially to young millennials who are going through everyday trials and tribulations in their life.
“I want people to know that there is power in vulnerability. All of these songs have played out in my real life and I wanted to show that you’re not alone. Whether that be new beginnings, getting your heartbroken, or being unsure of what your purpose is. We forget that we’re all human and don’t have to struggle in solitude.”
Touch N Go features 7 tracks with great features from Chief Aleel, Louie Koston, and Tobacco Ryan. There is not a single miss on this project as it will have you replaying each song over and over. The perfect tape for a late night drive or a road trip. Our personal favorite is “Hardheaded”.
“I think ‘Hardheaded’ is a must listen. This song is about being with someone and sometimes you’ve outgrown one another. We fight so hard to “get that old thing back” or “relight the flame” when really it’s time to let go. It’s a beautiful song and I know a lot of people can relate. ‘SKURVY’. This song is the most out of my comfort zone but I realized how much I like working on rap/hip-hop beats. It’s just a fun song about driving late at night in the city to see that special someone. My collaborators, Louie Koston & Chief Aleel were amazing and really brought the song to life.”
Lauryn is definitely on the rise as an artist and with each song and project released, it becomes evidently clear that her talent needs to be shared with the world. This project embodies a true R and B sound.
“I think ‘TOUCH N GO’ really shows my growth. I’ve always loved music but this was the first time that I really fell in love with the process and took my time. I will always love my debut ‘Inside My Head’ but I hadn’t truly unlocked all of my creativity. I’m only going get better with each project and see what else I can bring to the table.”
Lauryn already has plans for future with an expectation to bring visuals to her tracks and live performances. Much needed and anticipated for an artist with a dope Neo-Soul sound.
“I’m going to work on getting some performances in the future and some visuals for this project. Music videos are a MUST this time around. 6. It’s only up from here. I’m so excited for more people to get to experience this project and I hope they love it. More music in the future!”
