The 19 year old gave SPIN magazine an update on the groups follow up to their debut album Reflection. 

Lauren revealed that while there is no firm date yet for the LP, it will be out early next year!

“We don’t want to make any promises, because we’ve had some situations in the past where our album release date got pushed and pushed and pushed,” she says with a laugh. “We don’t want to disappoint fans, but it should be coming out in the beginning of the year. We’re still working on it, putting final touches on it, making sure we’ve got all of the final tracks that we need. We’re just starting that process now.”

She also revealed that R&B singer Tinashe helped to co-write some of the songs,

“She has really sick melody flows and lyrics…It’s very cohesive with us. It’s drawing from the same experience. That’s what’s important at the end of the day: having an authentic sound and having someone who understands what we’re going through.”

She also mentioned that fans should expect a very different album than Reflection,

“Honestly, I think there’s quite a few songs on this album that I’m really excited for the fans to hear because it’s a step-up from the last album,” she says. “It’s not even more mature, I think it’s just less gimmicky than last time — not to say that the music was, but in a sense, this sounds more honed in on a sound. We’re going for the more urban, R&B vibes and then we also have a lot of different little moments and genres that are typically tied into the R&B vibe but not so strictly married to it.”
