A folk-pop singer-songwriter in the lineage of Carly Simon, Joni Mitchell, and Carole King, Lauren Balthrop makes captivating, candid music propelled by her crystalline voice and will release her sophomore album, Things Will Be Different on August 12 via Olivia Records. Her newest release “Thank You,” is a serene and minimalist duet with songwriter Maya de Vitry.
Artist said about this song:
“I co-wrote this song one December morning in 2019 (the before times) with Maya deVitry,” says Balthrop of the track. “When she got to my house, I started telling her about this deeply painful day the previous week during Thanksgiving. Without going into too much detail, that day brought closure to a relationship that was incredibly hard to leave behind. I had pinned a lot of hopes and dreams on that relationship. She had gone through something similar and what felt like a therapy session turned into this song about different stages of grief around past relationships. ‘Someday I’ll thank you when I’m ready to’. Now having lived with this song and its recording, a new meaning has taken shape. The lyrics have come to be a conversation with myself and learning to love and let go of my own disappointments.”
