"A delightful cd full of acoustic folk pop from a real talent. Hayworth's songs are an extremely palatable mix of innocent, playful songwriting delicately laced with the more acerbic aspects of life. Her strongest ally is her voice, clear and confident, it steps and bends around the words, rhythms and melodies she dreams up. A satisfying first album by an artist that continues to grow." --Erin Kohler.
"Lauren's insights on the topics she writes her lyrics about are heartfelt and seem to come with experience. Simple acoustic arrangements don't overtake the vocals to make this a great listening CD with a cup of coffee in the morning or a lazy afternoon. Kudos for your first musical work."
--Vicki Blankenship/Spotted Kiva Productions.
"The music reminds me of current Aimee Mann albums - soft, subtle, and full of heart. The kind of music you can use to write a novel or poetry."

"Lauren continues to amaze me in her progress as a musician, and I'm sure that she will continue to do so as long as she pursues it. The vocals are smooth and soulful, her arrangements are original and well done. Turn on tracks 2 and 14 and let the cares of a stressed out world melt away." --David Mason.

Hey Lauren. Sincere thanks for the add! I believe we went to school together at Satellite (and bumped into you at Ravi Shankar a few years ago)? Anyways, saw your profile on a friend's page...in japan. Small world. Songs sound great, keep up the good work.
Hayworth....Drew and I are visiting North Georgia for the 4th. We'd love to see you and Dan and the gang....we'll be just a few hours away. Any plans on the 5th?
¿Dónde estás, chica? You are missed too. Do you ever hit up the open mics around town? I try to make it out to Portofino every week. We should do some collaborating!
So turns out it's a small, small world. ;) We have a friend in common. You met her in Thailand; I met her in Japan. Rachel. She and I worked at the same school last year. Weird, huh?
