From London, England, emerges a rare artist whose pen carries as much weight on a melody as it does on a page. Audren is not only a singer-songwriter but a poet and best-selling novelist and a storyteller whose artistry seems to flow without boundaries. With her first single “A New Page” from her forthcoming album “Think Freedom,” she welcomes us into her world with open arms. This is no ordinary opener— this is a homecoming of sorts, where music becomes as intimate as a whispered poem, as alive as a novel springing to life.
“A New Page” begins with a folk-imbued opening, tender and organic. The delicate guitar lines breathe like fresh morning air, joined by soft textures that root you in a natural, almost pastoral space. It’s as if you’re sitting under a willow tree at dawn and the first rays of light trickle through leaves, like the world is beginning to hum. This sets the perfect stage for Audren’s voice to enter; gentle, warm, and drenched in sincerity.
Her vocals are unhurried yet commanding, carrying fragility and strength. When she sings, “If I had the courage, I would write a new page. If the world could be as warm as your hand”, it doesn’t feel like mere lyricism but like a confession; a prayer turned into song. Her delivery is deeply emotive, never overreaching, instead leaning into vulnerability. You can hear life in her phrasing, the kind that comes from someone who has known hardship and healing, and dares to sing through it.
Lyrically, “A New Page” is about courage, healing, and the redemptive power of love. It’s a song that turns personal renewal into universal resonance. Lines like “When the light of love shines on. Then your burden life is gone” illuminate the core of the track — hope that rises above sorrow, love that dissolves weight, and courage that sparks transformation. The repetition of imagery — willows, meadows, whispers, rainbows weaves a pastoral poetry, painting landscapes of solace and rebirth.
The production blossoms beyond the folk simplicity, thanks to the masterful arrangements by jazz guitarist and producer Chris Rime. His orchestral touch is lush without overwhelming, giving the song a cinematic sweep. More than 70 musicians contribute to the recording, wrapping you in symphonic effulgence. The strings rise and fall like waves of memory, the woodwinds flutter like birds in the meadows she sings of, and the orchestral layers enrich the track with emotional gravitas. There’s even a personal signature woven in: fretless bass played by their daughter Jemily Rime, adding warmth and intimacy to the sonic fabric.
The instrumentation as a whole feels like nature itself joining in chorus. The guitar grounds the piece in folk tradition, while the orchestra elevates it to something celestial, a fusion of earth and sky. The production is meticulous but never sterile — it breathes with life, with love, with the kind of humanity that only family and true artistry can produce.
Listening to “A New Page” felt like sitting by a fireplace with loved ones, like walking through crisp open air and like tasting something familiar yet made with love — as Audren herself puts it, “as tasty as homemade cookies.” Overall, “A New Page” it’s an invitation to breathe deeper, to believe in renewal, and to let music, nature, and love carry us forward.
