Lauren Ash releases "Pathological" and it's a hit in the making!
We had the chance to dive into "Pathological" by Lauren Ash, and from the very first note, the hypnotic bassline pulls you into a trance. Its catchy harmonies immediately hook you, setting the stage for what's to come. When Lauren Ash steps in vocally, it's electric. Her voice is absolutely made for gritty pop-rock, with perfect control and raw emotion. Just 45 seconds in, the song erupts with blistering guitars and pounding beats, framing lyrics that hit hard:
"You think I'm quirky, but I'm broken / You think I'm lying, but I'm not joking."
These lines are gripping, pulling you deeper into the song's lyrical brilliance.
And just when you think it's peaked, Ash belts out"
"No baby, I'm pathological!"
-unleashing her full vocal power in a moment that feels explosive.
Then comes a brief interlude, where she impressively scales the song back down to its haunting, entrancing roots, showing just how masterfully constructed this track is. It felt like a calm before another storm, building up power like a looming tsunami. And, of course, Ash delivers this with relentless ferocity.
Another standout quality of the track is its incredible production and engineering. The song avoids feeling overproduced or overly clean—embracing a gritty, distorted sound that gives it that authentic rock ‘n’ roll edge. The placement of Ash’s vocals in the mix is spot-on, allowing them to shine while the supporting arrangement injects nitrous-fueled excitement, propelling her voice even higher. Shout out to the whole team for delivering such a killer track!
