Los Angeles singer-songwriter Lauren Vahdani latest single, “Anxious Love” was an inspiration dating back to 2020, when she was caught up in a cycle of uncertain and unstable relationships.
The song evolved over multiple versions, eventually reaching its current form after Lauren became further inspired by a close friend’s experiences, which echoed her own. This emotional resonance is the foundation of “Anxious Love,” a song that captures the painful push and pull of unhealthy connections and doubt.
Musically, the song blends the style of 90s artists like Alanis Morissette and Jewel—to whom she is often compared—with a more modern sound that is fresh and authentic.
Originally from Dallas, Lauren has quickly made a name for herself in the music scene thanks to her lyrics and melodies that blend indie pop, rock, folk, and Americana.
In “Anxious Love,” the lyrics become truly suffocating due to lines like “I can’t eat I can’t sleep I can’t breathe / Wondering if you’ll stay or you’ll leave,” which highlight the all-consuming nature of an uncertain relationship that breeds despair rather than peace.
Her words express a longing for stability in love, but she finds herself trapped in an endless loop of questions and unfulfilled expectations, which are evident in lines like “Waiting for you to tell me if you’re hers or mine.” This simple yet powerful line is a testament to Lauren’s storytelling ability.
With “Anxious Love,” Lauren externalizes her journey and connects with anyone who has experienced the turbulence of romantic indecision.
As she gears up for her next full-length album in 2025, Lauren Vahdani is undoubtedly set to captivate even more hearts with her storytelling prowess and genuine sound.
