Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
Self-love isn’t just about cherishing the good parts of yourself. It’s about it all: the jagged edges and the downright devastating. It’s a life-long journey, but once you tap into that heavenly light even just a tidbit, you’ll find yourself entering enlightenment. Soul singer and songwriter Lauren Eylise has crossed such a threshold, and on her new song “Peaks & Valleys,” tinged with broiling electric guitar and a heart-pounding gospel choir, she descends up into the clouds. “I’ve been heavy on myself / I took my pride down off that shelf,” she confides, pulling the listener closer before taking them to church. The Cincinnati native soon explodes with a vibrant pair of wings, and there’s no way you won’t be knocked to the ground from her sheer vocal power.
“Peaks & Valleys” is the first new taste of music since her debut EP, 2017’s Life / Death / Life. A new project is expected in 2020.
