“I wrote this song after the worst breakup I’ve ever had,” she says. “I was left feeling like my world had crumbled and I had no idea who I was on my own. I was reflecting on all of my past relationships and I realised that I always did so much better when I was alone. I thought about how all of my insecurities were based off other people’s opinions and decided I need to take control and learn to love myself as I am when I’m alone.”

‘alone’ is a poignant exploration of the aftermath of a breakup, encapsulating the bittersweet realisation that sometimes, you’re better off on your own. Annabel’s lyrical expertise shines through, delivering a narrative that is both personal and universally relatable. Her gentle yet powerful vocals are complemented by the simplicity of the instrumental arrangement, allowing her voice to shine above all.

Annabel Lauren, who has been steadily building an audience in Brighton, where she currently resides, draws inspiration from her own life experiences to create music that resonates deeply with her audience. ‘alone’ showcases her ability to blend introspective lyrics with a melodic indie sound, offering listeners a comforting embrace through its soothing melodies.

Annabel had this to say on the song: “When I wrote this song I was having some really weird dreams and I was struggling big time with my sleep paralysis. The song is me taking accountability for the issues I was having at the time, like missing deadlines or not speaking to friends because I wasn’t sleeping enough, or I was giving into vices a bit too easily. I felt like I had been slacking a bit and that I needed to get a grip, but I was really struggling to do that because of mental health issues and my surroundings. So the song is me letting out a bit of frustration, it’s me telling me I need to work on myself for my own benefit.”

Inspired by the likes of Modern Baseball and Frank Ocean, Annabel Lauren brings a strong sense of personality and sentimentality into the music she creates. ‘three a.m.’ is the prime example of this as lyrically she gives the listener an insight into the workings of her mind, and the unwelcomed tricks it plays. With her narrative driven lyrics at the forefront of her artistry, Annabel tells a story through her music and subsequently connects with her listeners on a personal level.
