Cardi B might have turned down a Super Bowl LIII halftime appearance with Maroon 5, but she’s still going to show up during the big game, thanks to an appearance in a Pepsi commercial.

As the GMA hosts point out, Pepsi has always been known to grab big name stars for their big game ads, and this year they’ve got at least 3 – Cardi B features alongside Steve Carrell & there’s definitely a lil bit of Lil Jon in there too.

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!
