Lauren Jauregui has dropped her new single English/Spanish single called “Lento” featuring Tainy.
“I had planned to give you this first taste of what’s coming for some time,” Lauren said in a statement. “There was truly no way any of us could have prepared for what is happening right now, so I hope you receive ‘Lento’ with as much grace and love as is intended. I hope dancing to it helps your spirit feel joy, as you spend time with your loved ones and continue to cultivate love in the face of fear and uncertainty.”
The official music video for “Lento” was also released, shot in Florida and directed by Dawit N.M.
On “Lento,” which translates to “Slowly,” the 23-year-old encourages just that in the face of a negative lover. “I don’t need to be bothered/By your negativity/Don’t even bother,” she sings on the second verse.
The accompanying video is a suitably sultry affair that centers around a nighttime bonfire at the beach.
Though “Lento” marks Jauregui’s first official solo single of 2020, she has stayed busy. In February, she contributed “Invisible Chains” to the Birds Of Prey soundtrack, then lent her vocal to Tainy and C. Tangana’s “Nada.”
