Lauren Mayberry releases her new single “Something In The Air.” The track is off the Chvrches vocalist debut solo album Vicious Creature, available later this year via Glassnote Records.

“”Something In The Air” is a song that really came out of nowhere,” explains Lauren. “I was in London finishing another song with my friend, co-writer and producer Dan McDougall. We were taking a break in the shared kitchen in the studio complex when a pretty iconic British musician, who I won’t throw under the bus here, came in and started making conversation about electricity, 5G and how it’s making us all sick. Dan and I went for a walk around the block before going back to the studio and were unpacking those theories, and why people want to believe them – and the chorus lyric just appeared.”

Vicious Creature is the product of two decades of band life that came before. Across its songs she writes about sexuality and empowerment from a profoundly personal perspective for the very first time, reconnecting with the icons of her youth in Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, PJ Harvey and Kathleen Hanna, and with the influence of 90s British girl groups like All Saints and Sugababes.
