Lauren Monroe

Moved and inspired by artists such as Bonnie Raitt, Linda Ronstadt, and Janis Joplin, Lauren Monroe developed a style producers, musicians, and rock historians have compared to those legendary women of rock and blues. Her sound and vocal quality - raw, sawdust-on-the-floor honesty - combined with the emotional and spiritual power of her performance draws audiences in, invigorates, and speaks to us on so many levels.

MESSAGES FROM APHRODITE, Lauren Monroe's third album-and her second in collaboration with acclaimed producer Jim Scott-widens the aperture opened by its predecessor, 2021's Under the Wolf Moon, bringing her musical and spiritual vision into even sharper focus. The title, which references the ancient Greek goddess of love in its myriad aspects, signifies the emotional expanse of Monroe’s songs, to which she brings a rarefied degree of insight and compassion, enabling her to nimbly plumb the depths and scale the heights of the human condition in her songwriting.
