Lauren Ash
Lauren Ash is ready to rock – unfiltered, unguarded, and louder than ever. The award-winning actress and comedian has announced the release of her debut album, Call Me When You Get This, dropping September 11.
With Call Me When You Get This, Ash proves she’s not just stealing scenes—she’s stealing hearts and shredding expectations with gut-punching, emotionally charged pop-punk anthems. Fueled by the fallout of a blindsiding breakup, the album is a high-voltage concept record that turns heartbreak into rock catharsis, with all songs co-written by Ash.
Produced by multi-platinum songwriters and producers Aaron Verdonk (Stereos) and Jesse Colburn (Avril Lavigne) of AXXNPACT, the album is structured around five stages of grief; from the dazed haze of “Diet Coke and Lexapro” to the biting humour of the single “Cool Story Bro” and the triumphant finale, “The Day I Got Over You.”
Call Me When You Get This fuses soaring harmonies, distorted guitars and razor-sharp wit with a vulnerability that cuts deep. The record unspools the emotional wreckage from the unexpected collapse of a relationship. It traces the chaos and clarity that followed by using real audio moments Ash recorded of herself throughout her breakup. These authentic, uncensored moments are woven between songs, blurring the line between life and art. This isn’t just an album – it’s a living, bleeding diary for anyone who's ever loved and lost – a raw, aching document of survival and transformation.
“I don’t know how I would have gotten through the last year of my life if it hadn’t been for this music project,” says Ash. “My ultimate message with this album is not solely one of empowerment. It is also about honouring your grief. Ultimately, I think there’s a beauty in admitting that your heart has been changed forever. As someone who is very well known for playing a beloved television character, I am excited to put something creative into the world that is actually the real me.”
Ash has long been in the spotlight – known to many for her standout performances as the no-nonsense Dina on NBC’s Superstore and Lexi on ABC’s Not Dead Yet, and set to host Flavour Network’s upcoming Canadian original series Halloween Bakeshop this fall. But her music career is no side gig: in 2023, she kicked the stage doors open with her breakout single “Now I Know,” topping rock charts in Canada, Australia and the US. Since then, she’s performed on The Kelly Clarkson Show, headlined Toronto’s Phoenix Concert Theatre, and rocked iconic LA venues like The Viper Room and Whisky a Go Go. Her single “Whiplash” was nominated for a 2025 Hollywood Independent Music Award.
With over 1.5 million followers and a growing legion of fans connecting with her no-holds-barred songwriting, Lauren Ash has officially stepped into her rock era and is not looking back.
