So, today, I made an exciting little announcement on social media…
It’s a bit scary to share these videos since they’re unlike anything I’ve ever posted before but it’s exciting too. These stripped back performances gave the songs a new feel, raw and emotional, and I’m eager to see what people think of these alternate versions.
And again, a massive thanks to Richard, my accompanist, videographer, and the man behind the Sunburst Sessions; to Zefan Susanto, my accompanist; Olivia of Olivia B-S Photography, videographer; and Nicky Trill, our wonderful engineer. This project would not have been possible without each and every one of them and I could not be more grateful, especially considering how unwell I was feeling on the day.

So today, one of my best friends, Richard Marc, has just released his debut single, ‘Put It In A Postcard,’ and on his birthday no less! I will always share his music on all of my social media but I wanted to share this on here because, while it is completely Richard’s song, I did help with the writing of it and I’m proud of my part in that. It’s a super cool, catchy song. Please go and check it out!

The Honest EP is now complete. So now what?
So that’s the update. The EP itself may be done with all five songs and their accompanying music videos out in the world but there’s more to come. There’s still some fun stuff in the works so keep your eyes open!

Hi! I’m Lauren Alex Hooper. Welcome to my little blog! I write about living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD (Inattentive Type), and Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), as well as several mental health issues.
I’m a singer-songwriter (it’s my biggest special interest and I have both a BA and MA in songwriting) so I’ll probably write a bit about that too.
My first single, ‘Invisible,’ is on all platforms, with all proceeds going to Young Minds.
My debut EP, Honest, is available on all platforms, with a limited physical run at Resident Music in Brighton.
I’m currently working on an album about my experiences as an autistic woman.
