Prelude shows a side of Jauregui that fans have only ever gotten to see a glimpse of.

The seven deeply personal tracks follow the star as she deals with losing someone she loves (“Colors“), confronting herself in the wake of said loss (“Scattered“), and putting herself on the defense as she re-enters the world (“On Guard“).

Prelude is a re-introduction to Jauregui as a new artist, ready to make you want to cry, dance and think all at the same time.

“This is truly my child. I’m continuing to change. These songs mean a lot to me and speak to a very real part of myself I’ve been working on,” Jauregui says of the project in a statement. “They feel good. I’ve sat with them. I’m comfortable with them … I found out what I sonically wanted to say. It was a beautiful process to understand I have my own voice as an artist. 2021 Lauren is a whole new bitch.”

Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, is the studio.

Written and executive produced by Garcia and Hench, the multi-generational immigrant-family comedy, inspired by Garcia’s life, is about an anti-communist Cuban father who enrolls in ESL classes at the same high school as his sensitive poetry-loving son.

Garcia is a comedian, television writer, actor, and podcaster from Los Angeles, who has appeared on his own half-hour special on Comedy Central, The Late Late Show with James Corden, This Is Not Happening, Adam Devine’s House Party, and @Midnight.

Garcia was named a New Face at the 2016 Montreal Just For Laughs Comedy Festival and a “Comedian You Should and Will Know” by Vulture.

He has written for Comedy Central, Adult Swim, Broadway Video, and Netflix. Garcia’s podcast Scattered was named one of the “10 Best Podcasts of 2019” by TIME Magazine.
