Laurel Lewis sounds well beyond her years on her self-titled album. Growing up in Appalachia, Lewis saw the struggle of those around her. She also experienced her own growing up in an unstable household. Her parents loved her, but not always well and not always how she needed them to. It forced Lewis to grow up fast, and often left her feeling painful and with overwhelming emotions without the tools she needed to address them. So she wrote them down.
For so long, Lewis has said that she didn't enjoy her life. She felt miserable and anxious and questioned the reason to keep going. But she says that "everything gets better in the morning. Everything always gets better when the sun comes out. Equipped with her words and music, Lewis looks to shine a light on the things that try to hide in the darkness. It's a warm and healing light and it's a beautiful thing to experience.
