Radio Premiere Oct 5th!!! This one has a lot of crossover potential and her image has sassed up

[McCreerian]

YES!! FINALLY!!!

[maine]

Oh how I have missed her! She's great. This sounds very good. "Barefoot and Buckwild" was pretty good too.

[sabre14]

Is there a source this is hitting radio? I know that Mercury was leaning towards "Next Boyfriend" as Lauren's lead single but no official word that I heard of. Luaren has one of my all-time favorite voices so I'll be thrilled if October 5th is the release date.

[maine]

Oh wow Mercury stuck it out with her? I was totally expecting her to be dropped considering this second album has been a total rollercoaster for her.

[Markus Meyer]

Hated "Barefoot and Buckwild", but I do love her voice and some of her other material so I'm excited for this.

[mdouty]

This sounds good. Interested to see how it does at radio.

Yes,she confirmed it to the Fayetteville observer as she as an event there coming up very soon

This song sounds great. Love that melody and vocal arrangement. It'll be interesting to hear the studio of this; I'm guessing it's going to be extremely pop-leaning in terms of the beat and production.

I loved "Georgia Peaches" from her as well. 

[Caviar]

Her voice is pure gold. I want her to go R&B/Rock so bad.

Q: Tell me about the show you'll be bringing to Fayetteville

A: I'm super-excited to come back, I had a really good time when I was there a few weeks ago (at a WKML studio concert). My single is going to be a song called 'Next Boyfriend,' and so at every show I pick a 'next boyfriend' from the crowd.

Q: What's next for you?

A: I've got this new music coming out, the new single comes out Oct. 5 and then the album will be out shortly after that. And I'm getting back on the road so people can see me again. I haven't been on the road in two years, I had a lot of stuff that I had to take care of, I had to have vocal cord surgery, just a lot of things changed. So, I'm back!

Some of her technique and belts and rifts are pure r&b!

[jesster]

Didn't love her last couple of singles but this one is cute and age-appropriate.

[fe_lipeoliveira]

I said it! Great choice for a single.

As for production, I think they'll go with a Kelsea Ballerini sound. Can't wait.

[bigfan101]

I wish they would have released one of her serious numbers, i.e. Same Day, Different Bottle, but this is decent and fun, and I think has the potential to be a hit. Her live vocals, as always, are stellar.

[carrieidol1]

AHHHHH!!! So glad she's coming back, I hope to God this smashes! Easily my favorite "newcomer" in the genre right now. Voice of gold, and a great songwriter too! Definitely rooting for this song, and for her!

[tvoss20]

Glad her song written for me will be on radio. ;)

OCD moment: could we please put quotes around the song title? [/moment]

Stoked for this. She's been away for far too long.

[.indulgecountry]

Super freaking excited about this! Her debut album was great and this girl has such huge potential with that amazing voice of hers. I really hope she can come back strong. The new single sounds promising from the acoustic performance. I enjoy the hook of the song and the way that's introduced very much and I can imagine it being a pretty radio-friendly single.

Just a thought: I think Lauren has serious potential to be the October OTV selection.

[mamasboy]

Wow - her vocals are fire on this one! I'll be rooting for this single to be a well-deserved hit for Lauren :).

[nncountrykid]

This is a smashhhhhhhh. Her vocals in that youtube video are unreal.

[Max_X5]

WOW. That is not the same Lauren I remember from Idol... She's improved so much! Definitely want to hear more from her now.

[BRhap786]

Sounds really good in that YouTube video...looking forward to the studio version!

[cufan7]

Her vocals are insane! Sounds awesome - behind her and this song!

[surfy]

I love Lauren, and I'm so glad she's releasing more music now! Her first album was great, and I absolutely love "Georgia Peaches"!!!

[justlurkingaround]

I like this. Any idea when it's getting an iTunes release?

[mus1cr0w]

I really like this song. Nice idea and great execution!

However, does anyone else this she looks very similar to Kelsea Ballerini now? It's almost like while Lauren was regrouping, Kelsea came along and took her spot!

So for whatever reason, they released a song by her called "History" today. Is that just as promo single until this comes out?

[tvoss20]

Same radio station has a video for another song of hers called I'm Doing Fine which is just as phenomenal. SUch a great voice that needs to be exposed more/get way more success.
