On this episode, Lauren is joined by the wonderful singer-songwriter, poet and fashion designer, Chase Cohl aka Dear Dear.
Chase was introduced to music from a young age, spending much of her youth on the road with the Rolling Stones themselves.

In 2018 she released her debut record 'Far Away and Gone'. After the  release of her 2021 Dear Dear: Volume I EP.  it became clear that this project was taking on a life of its own. This led to Chase shifting the entire project into the enigma of Dear Dear.

As a result, in October last year, she released her debut Dear Dear album 'Death of a Fairytale'.  The wonderful 8 track record is co-produced by Loren Humphrey⁣ and co-written by Barry Goldberg (Bob Dylan, Ray Charles, Gladys Knight). 

The record plays with a neo-soul, motown sound, heavily influenced by the girl groups of the 1960s, yet is approached with a modern sensibility.

Chase chats through the album track by track giving an insight intro the writing and recording process.

On this episode, Lauren is joined by the wonderful singer, songwriter Abraham Alexander. Born in Greece to parents of Nigerian descent, Abraham moved to Texas with his family at age 11 to escape the racial tensions they faced in his birthplace.

His path to music came years later after a friend handed him a guitar and he unexpectedly found songs pouring out. A series of increasingly incredible chance meetings—including a life-changing encounter with Leon Bridges—led Abraham to nurture this newfound musical voraciousness.

Since then, he has shared the stage with many wonderful artists including The Teskey Brothers, Lucius and The Lumineers.

In April 2023, Abraham released his highly anticipated debut album 'SEA/SONS' via Dualtone Records. The album is a culmination of his own stories of loss, anguish and redemption alongside an undeniable sense of hope and healing.

Together, Abraham and Lauren have such an open, honest conversation as he discusses the many personal stories behind the writing of the album.
