Lauren Jauregui has a new song out, More Than That, and with the track she’s ready to fully launch The Year of Lauren.

Looking back on her time with Fifth Harmony, she points out that she was in the group from ages 16 to 22, saying “That’s 6 years of my life that I dedicated.. 6 very transformative years. Like, of adolescence, where I’m supposed to be discovering myself. And I realized, this year, that I was so consumed by working, and being part of a group, that I didn’t at all get to figure out who I was as an individual.”

But now she’s got that time, and a whole world of solo music is opening up to her. Lauren says she’s been writing poetry and stories her whole life, but only began writing music this past year, and that some of her new songs are inspired by "relationship energy", and "the state of the world & my personal expression in it."

Lauren also talks about wanting to get into the same room as Beyonce or Pink, two artists who inspire her, and shares the best career advice she’s gotten to date - “Never take more than you give or give more than you take.”

So what’s up for LJ in 2019? An album for one. And a tour! She’s also set goals to learn how to produce music and how to play an instrument. Sounds doable.

We’re really looking forward to everything Lauren has to offer! Check out her new song alongside other up and coming artists on Slacker’s New Pop Now station!

Congratulations to Lady Gaga, who took home her second Golden Globe for Best Original Song at last night’s awards – winning for “Shallow" from 2018's version of "A Star is Born" with Bradley Cooper.

And how’d she fuel up for that big win? According to her Instagram story, it was with a burger, fries, and a bowl of Fruity Pebbles cereal!

But that’s not all – she also revealed to Access that she ate Thai food as well, telling them "I really had to pack it before a long evening,” with the advice "You know what, women? Eat. Eat what you want. Do what you want, be who you are, do not starve yourself, live your life.”

Amazing advice from a lady who clearly has a taste for Fruity Pebbles – according to her fiancé, Christian Carino’s instagram, she celebrated with a bowl of fruity goodness after her win too.

Celebrate Gaga’s win with the soundtrack to A Star Is Born on Slacker!
