Lauren Hulbert has released her EP, Superbloom! The EP sonically reflects the range of emotions that occur through a variety of relationships and life experiences.

The single, “Gone in One” exudes strength, resilience and vulnerability found both in both the midst and aftermath of an unhealthy relationship.
