Yade Lauren announces second studio album Ms Lauren

Dutch artist Yade Lauren is set to release her second studio album, Ms Lauren, following a period of creative development after the long-standing success of her debut. The singer describes the new record as a fusion of personal experience and bold production that bridges the gap between her private and public lives.

Dutch singer Yade Lauren has officially announced her second studio album, titled Ms Lauren. This project follows her successful 2018 debut album, Reflecties, which maintained a presence in the Dutch Album Top 100 for 190 weeks. After taking a hiatus to focus on her creative independence and performing sold-out shows at venues like Paradiso and AFAS Live, Lauren is now prepared to return with new music. The upcoming release features her recent single WTBBA?! and draws inspiration from her personal growth.

Describing the album as a mix of self-confidence, sorrow, and celebration, the singer aims to merge her private life with her stage persona. She characterizes the record's sound as unhinged pretty girl trap, blending elements of R&B with aggressive production styles. Yade Lauren has previously achieved significant success with chart-topping hits including Als Ik Je Niet Zie, Trust with Kevin, LIES with Lil Kleine, and her solo track In De Nacht. The new album reflects a more integrated approach to her musical identity.
