Lauren Hulbert is a Californian singer-songwriter whose journey has taken her from coast to coast in the United States to far-flung corners of the globe like Thailand, Ecuador and New Zealand, while she continues to enchant audiences with her ethereal vocals and deeply personal music. Known for her unique blend of folk, alternative country rock and atmospheric pop, her music draws from her own unique life experiences.
Her classical training in piano and self-taught guitar skills allow her to create music that’s at once technically impressive and emotionally moving. First unveiling her sound on her debut record Beneath the Soil, she’s since shared a further two singles and an EP in 2020.
Despite only recently starting to record and release her music, Hulbert has a substantial back catalogue of songs written over the years, waiting to be shared with the world. One such single is “Honeydew,” a track written in 2010, recorded in 2016, and released on her Superbloom EP in 2020.
Originally penned for her boyfriend while living together in Ecuador, “Honeydew” distils the euphoria of a relationship in its honeymoon phase. Although the relationship itself did not last, the song still celebrates the lasting memory and universal feeling of love.
The track presents a mellow folk pop sound that’s sure to connect with couples everywhere, making it an ideal soundtrack for tender moments. With its warm tones and Hulbert’s dreamy vocals carrying blissful melodies, the acoustic instrumentation provides a gentle backdrop to her emotive singing, creating a serene and intimate listening experience. She writes about the human condition with a rare sense of honesty, turning personal experiences and emotions into a relatable story that speak to the heart.
To complement the song, Hulbert traveled to Sebastopol, just north of her former musical territory of Oakland to collaborate with videographer Wren Huxley. Together, they co-directed a music video that perfectly captures the essence of “Honeydew,” with the video following Hulbert as she relaxes in a field on a perfect day.
