Sealed With a Kiss
* Lauren Alaina is currently starring in a weekly, 10-episode series of webcasts for My Country Nation, a digital country lifestyle channel. Called “Sealed with a Kiss,” or “SWAK,” they are her original, humorous, five-minutes-or-less takes on issues faced by her peers as well as embarrassing moments in her career.* I actually wrote all the treatments for each of the episodes. I like to make people laugh. I don’t think people know that part of me as much. I really wanted to connect with my fans and show them my personality, things I’m thinking about.”* The singer is joined by her boyfriend, Alex Hopkins of Cleveland, Tenn., in “Boys Just Don’t Get It.” In that episode, she discusses how guys don’t understand how much time it takes for women to do their makeup, so she lets Hopkins put on her makeup to enlighten him.* “SWAK” can be accessed from My Country Nation’s Facebook page, twitter.com/lauren_alaina or on YouTube.
It’s been four years since fans of Lauren Alaina heard any new music, but that changes today.
Alaina’s new single, “Next Boyfriend,” hit radio today – the lead single off her self-titled EP that comes out Friday. The EP includes five tracks that are a teaser for a full album set for release in 2016.
“I’m just really excited to open this new chapter for everyone to hear,” the Rossville native says in a phone interview. “I wrote over 200 songs for this project and picked my top 12 for the album. On the EP there are five, and I think they are a good summary of what the album is going to be. I want to reintroduce everyone to me and give them an idea of how I’ve grown.”
