The deluxe version of breakout vocalist and songwriter Lauren Spencer Smith‘s The Art Of Being A Mess is here, accompanied by the new single “Somebody You’re Supposed To Love.” Spencer Smith shares that The Art of Being a Mess is about the quiet hurt of realizing a parent didn’t show up the way they were meant to. It’s about feeling like you were just someone they should’ve loved, and they didn’t.
Originally released with critical acclaim via Island Records/Republic Records, THE ART OF BEING A MESS was a hit with fans for its candid, emotionally driven songwriting, including standout singles “Looking Up,” “bridesmaid” and “IF KARMA DOESN’T GET YOU (I WILL).” The deluxe adds six new songs to the album, including “Natural Disaster” and “Thick Skin.”
After coming back from her extensive tour across Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, Spencer Smith is currently on her 32-date North American headline tour, which stops in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and other cities. See below for a complete list of dates. Tickets and more information HERE. Additionally, she will be supporting Teddy Swims on his U.K. and Ireland tour this June.
THE ART OF BEING A MESS captures the emotional mess Spencer Smith experienced while creating her second album. Each song taps into different emotions – anger, love, devastation- and sometimes all at once. Each song is raw and real, revisiting experiences and moments in Spencer Smith’s life. The album follows her debut album, Mirror (2023), which features RIAA Certified Platinum singles “Flowers” and “Fingers Crossed,” the latter of which peaked at No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has reached over 875 million global streams. With the deluxe now out, Spencer Smith is not planning on slowing down, with a future of milestones to come.
