UK singer songwriter Lauren Ray returns with her new single ‘Irreplaceable,’ the first single taken from her upcoming second album, ‘Woman InThe Arena’ out on SR Records this May.
Produced by Julian Emery (Lissie/ Nothing But Thieves) and mixed by Cenzo Townsend (George Ezra, Florence & The Machine) ‘Irreplaceable’ shows a different side to Lauren’s song writing. Experimenting with electronics and beats like never before Lauren has delivered an upbeat, infectious slice of pop.
“Whilst the verses tell the story of a previous relationship, the choruses and overall message is about finding someone who makes you feel completely irreplaceable” says Lauren. “Working closely with Julian on the style of this song was an absolute dream. He really helped capture the mood I was looking for. For my second album I was really keen on exploring a more pop production and wanted to push myself both as a writer and performer. Whilst ‘Irreplaceable’, along with all the new songs were still written sitting at my piano, I just knew that I wanted to present them with this completely different energy.”
Lauren released her debut album, ‘We Will Need Courage’ in 2016, and more recently, her 4-track EP, ‘Inside This Silence’ featuring the single ‘Be AMan’ which had support from BBC Introducing and BBC Regional Radio. She’s also been very busy writing her new album, and enjoying an extensive touring schedule.
She opened for Lucy Spraggan’s 31-date UK tour in October 2017, followed by a 12-date UK tour supporting Rebecca Ferguson in 2018 which enabled Lauren to play her biggest venues yet, including the 02 Shepherds Bush Empire and Liverpool Philharmonic Hall. Lauren’s most recent tour was supporting Anastacia on her European tour in summer 2018, including shows in Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Italy.Lauren will be on the road over the next few months with Paul Carrack opening for his massive 30 date tour, which includes a night at the London Palladium and Liverpool Philharmonic.

The album is available for pre-order purchase at all live dates. Pre-order CD copies will be signed by the artist and delivered direct to home addresses, and every purchaser at the venues will immediately be given a special CD single of “Irreplaceable”.
