Interview with Lauren Ruth Ward
We had the pleasure of interviewing Lauren Ruth Ward over Zoom video!
Lauren Ruth Ward is single-handedly revitalizing the image of powerful women in rock\u2019n\u2019roll by unleashing a spree of viral hit singles and headlining a sold-out U.S. concert tour. With the release of \u201cMindseye\u201d \u2013 the seductive, guitar-laced title track of her wildly anticipated EP of the same name \u2013 Ward is poised for brilliant new heights.
Of the track, Ward says, \u201c\u2018Mindseye\u2019 is about being in a relationship and trying to figure out what parts are real and what parts are disillusionment for you and for the other person. It\u2019s a question that is always there, especially since we\u2019re always changing. It can be hard to be honest with yourself and with a person you love because you don\u2019t always know if you\u2019re crazy or sane. It\u2019s the paranoid part of being in love.\u201d
\u201cMindseye\u201d is the latest salvo in a year that has seen the Baltimore-bred/L.A. based artist go from strength to strength, starting with viral smash \u201cMessiah,\u201d which currently has over 42k streams on Spotify. The bluesy rock anthem is accompanied by a smouldering performance video lensed by filmmaker Wes O\u2019Connor.
Ward has further revealed her enigmatic screen presence in the lush, emotionally charged short film supporting the cathartic single \u201cSuburban Ego.\u201d Teamed with acclaimed indie director Savannah Sivert, Ward reveals the depth and charisma of a movie star.
The singles building to the release of Mindseye have proven to be formidable fuel for Ward\u2019s recent sold-out stateside concert trek that transcended the traditional artist/audience experience. \u201cMy shows have always been an interactive experience,\u201d the artist says. \u201cThere\u2019s a bond and a trust between us that exists and allows for a high degree of spontaneity.\u201d
In addition to an extensive tour of Europe during the first quarter of 2023, Ward has also recently teamed up with internationally renowned comedian/writer/performer Mae Martin for a beautiful, lo-fi rendition of Elliott Smith\u2019s evergreen \u201cTwilight.\u201d The track, which is available via SoundCloud, was recorded to raise awareness of issues surrounding mental health and suicide prevention.
