Rising Star Lauren Torres Unveils Stunning New Single “Mangos”
Renowned LA-based singer-songwriter, Lauren Torres, has just unveiled her latest musical gem, “Mangos”, the fourth single from her highly anticipated upcoming album, Trash. With this soulful and introspective track, Lauren once again captivates her audience with her signature blend of heartfelt lyrics and buttery smooth vocals.
Inspired by legendary artists like Stevie Wonder and Etta James, Lauren Torres embarked on her music journey in 2016 with the release of her independent single and music video, “Lullaby”. Since then, she has continued to push the boundaries of her artistry with a series of singles and projects.
“Mangos” stands as a poignant testament to Lauren Torres’ artistic evolution. The song delves into the theme of retrospection, acting as a letter to her younger self. The track represents the paradise we envision as children, which becomes more distant as adulthood sets in. Through her expressive lyrics and melodious vocals, Lauren takes listeners on a journey of self-discovery and introspection. “Mangos” arrives alongside a stunning live performance video, which amplifies the song even further.
Speaking about “Mangos”, Lauren Torres says, “Written in retrospect, ‘Mangos’, in a literal sense, is a letter to my younger self – a story of shedding and replenishing youthful naïveté. It poses the concept that we humans never truly grow up but instead grow into the various stages of our lives. In a more figurative sense, ‘Mangos’ is representative of a paradise that, as children, we believe will come to fruition in adulthood. As adulthood sets in, however, so do the ever-increasing responsibilities, and the series of decisions we have and continue to make only complicate things, inching us even further away from our child-like depiction of the future.”
Lauren Torres continues to push herself artistically and connect with her audience on a deeper level. “Mangos” is a testament to her growth and unwavering dedication to her craft, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the full release of upcoming album Trash. “Mangos” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://onerpm.link/743936352266.

Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
