Lauren McClinton - Rush​​

NASHVILLE, TN

Let Laurenn McClinton lay with you, stay with you, vibe with you, and ride with you this Valentine’s Day with her sweeter than sugar track Rush, from her recently released EP, Dawn.

Penned by Lauren McClinton and produced by her significant other, 
​A.B Eastwood (@a.b.eastwood), ​Lauren explores the dating styles that we all seem to be drawn to.

"Particularly the talking stage, where it’s obvious that two people want to be with each other but one or both of them are too afraid to commit. Instead of following their heart and feeling that rush they get when they’re with each other, they’d rather do relationship things without the value of commitment due to a deep-rooted fear". - Lauren McClinton

Rush radiates love; it's about vulnerability, honesty, acknowledging your emotions for someone, and fighting the urge to run away when you feel exposed. It runs deep, and that depth is met with vocal lightness in Lauren's soothing whisper; she knows "you feel that rush." These emotions exude an uncertainty in the situation between the two individuals; they reveal one counterpart's ready to dive in approach and expose the mental conflict within the other; there's a subtle resistance in the beginning when it comes to taking a leap of faith.

Lauren McClinton beautifully demonstrates the soft dance between two potential lovers, it's intense when one realises their connection to the other. Her gentle, resonant tone reveals patience, consideration, and elements of unconditional love.

Singing since the sweet age of 2, Lauren McClinton found love within songwriting, poetry, and short stories. Her aesthetic can be heard through her musical inspirations, Brian McKnight, Toni Braxton, Brandy, Frank Ocean, and H.E.R.

So what are you waiting for? Take a leap of faith this Valentine's Day and allow yourself to feel that rush!
Do you want to be the person who suppresses their emotions or the one who takes a chance?
