New York, NY (Top40 Charts) One of Nashville's hottest newcomers,
Lauren Weintraub, is set to release her debut EP, 'This Is Your Brain On Love' (via Virgin Records) on November 4. Announcing today, the six-track project was co-written entirely by Weintraub and continues to build on the
Boston native-turned-Nashville resident's signature, genre-bending style - tapping into everything from the raw and real comfort of Lori McKenna to the pop-driven, evocative nature of
Taylor Swift - as she takes a musical trip through her own experiences with love and lack-thereof.
"'This Is Your Brain On Love' is the culmination of the lessons I've learned in falling in and out of love in my teens and early twenties," Weintraub explains. "I wrote more than 800 songs for this project, and I could not be more proud of these six tracks that made the cut for my debut EP. They cover everything from the 'honeymoon phase' of a relationship to the gut-wrenching heartbreak that comes with a breakup. The entire project really describes how blind, crazy, angry, obsessed, and euphoric love can make you feel — but regardless of the hurt, do we do it all over again and again? We absolutely do. Welcome to: your brain on love."
The project kicks off with heartbreak, as Weintraub makes a reflective, emotional return to her hometown post-breakup in "Boston," a song co-written with
Music City hitmaker Nathan Chapman (Taylor Swift), before tapping into a clever, cautionary message to anyone considering revisiting a former flame in the spicy "Ex Appeal."
The viral fan-favorite "Missing You," which has already garnered more than 6.8M+ streams, redefines the proper approach to letting go of a lost love — something easier said than done — while the unreleased "Over Her Over Here" spotlights Weintraub's unmatched vocals as she closes the door on a toxic on-again, off-again relationship. The nostalgia-driven "Before We Knew Too Much" details the all-too-familiar excitement that comes with a first love — a wistful, naive and unforgettable feeling that can never be matched after experiencing true heartache.
Capping the project with a standout singalong, "Not Like I'm in Love with You" (5M+ streams to date) serves as a catchy, pop-infused tale of falling for a best friend — a track that not only highlights Weintraub's sassy personality, but is also sure to become a live fan favorite.
As the flagship songwriter signed to
Brandy Clark's publishing company, All BC Music, Weintraub is busy making waves in
Music City and beyond — already amassing 30M+ streams (in less than a year) and being named a HITS Magazine "One To Watch" for 2022. Armed with vulnerable lyrics, a sassy demeanor and raw, unmatched vocals, the 23-year-old continues to captivate fans around the globe, garnering more than 700k+ followers across social media and earning a nomination for "TikTok Songwriter of the Year" at this year's iHeartRadio Awards.
