Jacob Tremont & Lauren Rosato - This Time Around [EP]

Jacob Tremont and Lauren Rosato, two standout songwriters from the New Jersey indie scene, have joined forces for a split EP that showcases their distinct voices side by side. Each artist contributes three original songs, offering listeners two complementary perspectives within one release. Tremont, based in Hoboken, continues to shape his blend of ‘90s grunge energy and Americana storytelling, with lyrics rooted in lived experience and observations of city life. Rosato, from Jersey City, shares three of her most personal songs to date, marked by confessional writing and striking honesty. Together, their work creates a thoughtful balance between grit and vulnerability, while still remaining wholly individual.

The split format allows each songwriter’s style to shine on its own terms while highlighting the natural conversation between their approaches. Tremont’s brand-new material, written and recorded over the past summer, captures immediacy and momentum, while Rosato’s songs—shaped over years of writing and refined through recent collaborations—carry emotional weight and patience. This shared release amplifies the common ground between them: a commitment to direct songwriting, emotional clarity, and the power of independent voices. This EP is as much about two individual journeys as it is about the vibrant community that brings them together.
