Lauren Watkins To Showcase ‘Perfect World’ This October

September 10, 2025/by Madison Hahnen

Lauren Watkins will release her sophomore album, In A Perfect World, on Oct. 10 via Big Loud Records/Songs & Daughters.

The 10 track project will feature stories of Watkins balancing life between touring and quiet nights at home with her husband. The album features already released tracks “I’ll Get Through It,” “Marlboro Man,” “Average Joe and Plain Jane” and “Lose My Cool,” with the final pre-release “Slippery Slope” feat. John Morgan dropping Sept. 19.

“I am so beyond proud of this music,” shares Watkins. “I’ve lived so much life in the past couple years, from playing shows all over the world and spending half of my time on the road, to building a sweet little life in a farmhouse with my husband. It’s made me appreciate so many parts of all of it. I’ve started embracing the simple things just as much as the chaos. And that’s what inspired these 10 songs. It paints a good picture of what my world looks like these days, but I really hope people can see their own world within it too.”

The project was produced by Watkin’s husband Will Bundy, with additional co-production from Joey Moi. Watkins co-penned all 10 tracks on the collection, with additional writing credits from Trannie Anderson, Rodney Clawson, Natalie Hemby, Mark Trussell and more.
