London-based multidisciplinary artist Audren compels with “We’re All Lost,” a song that reflects her long-standing commitment to emotional truth, healing, and poetic freedom. Rooted in indie pop and jazz stylishness, the track leans on expressive piano phrasing, nuanced guitar textures, and memorable bass movement — framing introspective lyricism around uncertainty, faith, and shared humanity. Audren’s performance radiates lived experience, shaped by years away from music due to illness and a parallel journey as a bestselling author. The result is a piece that feels intimate yet universal, invoking emotions such as empathy, connection, and quiet resilience.
Solemn piano and vulnerable vocals open the track. “I get cold feet sometimes,” Audren’s captivating vocals admit, complemented by flickering guitar jangles in asking further: “Is it true, that once in a blue moon, people see the light?” Title-bearing ruminations on a sense of feeling lost, and resulting confusion, continue the thought-provoking allure. A bass-laden touch past the one-minute turn adds a touch of jazzy pop sophistication, artful and consuming in a way that reminds fondly of Kate Bush.
Multiple vocal layers emerge past mid-point, bolstering the mix with further emotion. The “walk on the road” drive to embrace love and positivity finds complements by a soulful vocal backing that delights amidst the brightened piano and guitar interplay. The track seamlessly ventures from initial piano-set introspection into a rousing pop expanse, showing Audren’s capacity to enamor across both balladry-minded subtlety and glistening pop magic. “We’re All Lost” is a thoroughly resonating success.
