Lauren Jauregui Nears Independent Debut Album, Road-Tests Tracks With Uber Drivers

She is shaping a rock-leaning pop record with final production handled independently.

Overview

  • Lead single "Ego" arrived in October as the first preview of the album and signals a shift toward alternative pop with rock influence.
  • Jauregui says the tracklist spans work written from 2018 through February 2025.
  • She reports the songs are essentially finished and now require mixing, mastering and visuals before release.
  • Working without a label, she is moving the project forward piece by piece and has not announced a release date.
  • To gauge reactions, she plays unreleased songs for Uber drivers and other strangers for candid feedback, and she has recently pulled back on social media to be more intentional.
