0Grammy Nominated Singer/Songwriter Garren Releases Album ‘the new (normal)’
Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Garren is challenging stigmas and redefining what it means to be “normal” with the release of his 11-track album ‘The New (Normal)’. Sonically and narratively, the album serves as the full length story to Garren’s previous 2018 EP release, ‘Normal’. Garren’s addictively smooth vocals sync with his compelling lyrics to express the rawest of emotions.
“It’s more focused on how it is growing up in south central and Compton and the mindset you have to have to get out of these environments. Making decisions for the future and not getting caught in the temporary satisfaction… That is what I call being ‘normal’.” – explains Garren of his latest album
In 2019, singer/songwriter Garren expanded his artistic focus to film, with the creation of his documentary, ‘Normal: The Documentary’ directed by Tari Wariebi. The short documentary offers an honest look into the singer’s personal experience growing up in Compton and forms a collective point of view on how young black men can transform their life by following what they deem to be true to themselves, despite negative societal stigmas. The documentary has won Best Documentary Short from the Los Angeles Movie Awards and was an official selection of the St. Louis International Film Fest.
Garren has been a prominent voice among his hometown city of LA and has provenly carved out his own path in music. In 2018, Garren also earned his first Grammy nomination for his vocal contribution for Nipsey Hussle’s record “Dedication” off his platinum certified 2018 album ‘Victory Lap’. Garren also contributed background vocals to Dreamville’s recent Grammy-nominated album ‘Revenge of the Dreamers III’, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts and achieved platinum certification.
