Acclaimed for her emotional, scratchy vocals, reflective lyrics and energetic, full-throttle efficiencies, LA-based singer-songwriter Lauren Ruth Ward continues to break brand-new ground with her newest EP,Self ElectricIts 5 tracks show her individual development and journey towards self-appreciation. In an interview with Edward Fowler, she explains it as “high-energy, blood-letting, glam-rock shreddy guitar.” She describes, “It's a reflection of where I am now and how I'm feeling in my life. I'm feeling actually grounded.”
The opening track, “SELF LOVE,” represents a conclusion of experiences and relationships going back to her early years maturing in Maryland. “All those memories took place here in Baltimore, and they produced me,” she exposes in her mini-doc about the tune. “The excellent and the growing.” Highlighting the track's reflective nature, Ward states, “The tune was initially composed as a method to call myself out,” keeping in mind that “the composing takes you through a world of self-pity and increasing from the ashes.”
Wielding aTaylor T5z Prohollowbody electric-acoustic hybrid, Ward provides a stripped-back performance of “Self Love.” Crafted with an Urban Ash body, figured Big Leaf maple top and a fast-playing neck with jumbo worries, the flexible T5z provides a sweeping variety of tonal possibilities.
