Our third annual Lauren Mayberry top ten moments of the year is here! Thank you for being such a great role model and inspiration to many. It becomes increasingly difficult to pick just ten of our favorite moments each year but without further ado continue reading below to see our Lauren Mayberry top ten moments of 2017.

10. Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook and Martin Doherty of CHVRCHES began working on their third album on February 7, 2017. While the finishing touches are being done now, Lauren did recently reveal the first details about the new album which we’re incredibly excited to hear in 2018. In the interview with EW, Mayberry said, “When I listen to the record, I feel like it’s the most pop stuff we’ve done and also the most aggressive and vulnerable at the same time. It was about really leaning into those moments — and also wanting there to be a real humanity and character to what we’re saying.”

9. CHVRCHES’ music was featured in the video game Chime Sharp and the music mixing game DropMix.




8. While visiting family and friends back home in Scotland, Lauren joined Paramore and a fan on stage for “Misery Business” at a show in Edinburgh.



7. Lauren and CHVRCHES co-producer pal David Simpson wrote and performed a song called “Ballad For A Friend” which was featured in the Funny Or Die mini-series The Real Stephen Blatt starring Justin Long.



6. CHVRCHES delivered a dreamy cover of Tegan and Sara’s “Call It Off” for The Con: X.



5. Lauren has always been a vocal activist and 2017 was no different. This year she touched on the fight against anti-LGBTQ legislation in Texas, attended and performed at this years Equality Now gala and addressed gun control issues in America.

4. CHVRCHES released a beautiful new stripped-down version of “Down Side of Me” that was included in the 7 Inches for Planned Parenthood project benefiting the charity Planned Parenthood along with a new music video directed by actress Kristen Stewart.



3. After five wonderful years TYCI closed its doors. A collective run by women (founded by Lauren Mayberry) who care about things put together everything from a blog, live events, podcasts, radio shows, zines and more! We were sad to see them go but we certainly enjoyed many of their discussions and learned a lot. Thank you to everyone involved with TYCI.

Lauren Mayberry Reveals First Details of CHVRCHES’ Third Album

Lauren Mayberry Reveals First Details of CHVRCHES’ Third Album

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Lauren Mayberry shared the first public details about CHVRCHES’ third release coming in 2018. After self-producing their first two albums The Bones of What You Believe (2013) and Every Open Eye (2015) the band consisting of Mayberry, Iain Cook and Martin Doherty have enlisted the talents of famed record producer Greg Kurstin who has worked with the likes of Adele, Beck, Foo Fighters, Kelly Clarkson and Pink. Sharing her experience of working with Kurstin, Mayberry said, "He pushed what we were doing to be bigger in some ways, but he also pushed us to be weirder. He’d be like, ‘If the vocal melodies are as sweet and as precise as this, why don’t we make these other sounds so f***ed up and gnarly and strange?’ I loved that.”

Lyrically the songwriting has changed for the new album as well, seeking a more outwardly approach instead of their past introspective work. Instead of writing the lyrics after a track was finished, this time Mayberry worked on writing in the moment to capture things more naturally.

A release date and album title have yet to be revealed but the group have recently said through social media channels that this is their best work yet and excited to share it with the world soon. Adding to her excitement, Mayberry said, “When I listen to the record, I feel like it’s the most pop stuff we’ve done and also the most aggressive and vulnerable at the same time. It was about really leaning into those moments — and also wanting there to be a real humanity and character to what we’re saying.”
