Nashville-born, New York-based artist Lauren Minear shares her transformative new album, Boxing Day, featuring the fragile, urgent lead single, “Bruise.” Written in the aftermath of betrayal and self-reflection, the record traces a path through anger, shame, acceptance, and ultimately liberation. With raw confessional lyrics and immersive soundscapes that blend alternative, pop, rock, and folk, Boxing Day is Minear’s most ambitious work to date. Minear’s voice—reminiscent of Natalie Merchant, Dido, and Maggie Rogers—delivers raw emotion, while her lyrics, likened to Joni Mitchell and Sarah McLachlan, cut straight to the soul. Since her debut in 2021, Minear has gathered over 1 million streams, and 20 thousand followers across platforms. She has enjoyed radio support around the world, and shared the stage with Pete Yorn and Cassandra Lewis. Earmilk calls her latest album “…a meditation on being human”.
