Lauren Minear gears up for the release of her third album Boxing Day, amidst announcements of Grammy consideration on her song “Lightweight”.
Honing themes of anger, conflict, and finding power in the noise - Minear's latest offering is a culmination of her experience so far. The Nashville-born, New York-based singer-songwriter draws from the personal, crafting a dynamic record filled with poetic nuance.
Minear stepped away from her professional background in finance and as a therapist, following her true calling as an artist. But this wasn't a far stretch, for Minear has always been close to music. She was mentored by some of Nashville’s leading songwriters at just 14 years old, being in the studio while Steve Earle recorded his Jerusalem sessions, and recording an EP with Bonnie Raitt’s guitarist, George Marinelli.
Boxing Day arrives as a continuation of Minear’s storytelling in motherhood, relationships, and womanhood. This record deals with overarching themes of anger, codependency, and conflict with those that we hold the most dear. Following the successful single releases of “Lightweight” and “Bullshit”, the project leads with the artist’s lyrical precision and crisp vocals - both distinctive from Minear.
It's clear there's only one place Minear is going from here, and it's onwards and upwards.
