Listen to “26” HERE On the track, Lauv leans on a sped-up guitar riff and hypnotic beat. Over this nuanced soundscape, his confessional lyrics paint a vivid picture with cinematic and reflective lines such as, “Can I tell you a story about a boy who broke his own heart and he always blamed everybody else, but the truth is that he did it to himself.“ About “26,“ Lauv shared, “26 is the first song from my next album. It’s the moment I woke up and realized I needed to do some work to get back to the kid I was before my life and career got so crazy.” Such honesty definesLauv’s upcoming album. This time around, he opened up like never before to expand his signature sound. He focused on the storytelling and crafted an immersive and irresistible body of work steeped in moments of nostalgia, conflict, and, ultimately, self-empowerment. Stay tuned for the premiere of an equally intimate and unforgettable accompanying music video.
