Some playlists are made for the beach. Others are made for the dance floor. Lauren’s is made for home.
Whether she’s opening the windows to welcome a summer breeze, tending the garden, enjoying a quiet afternoon with her beloved pets, or sharing a meal with friends and family, the music is always nearby. She loves songs that feel genuine, uplifting, and full of heart, where every melody brings back a happy memory or creates a brand-new one.
Fresh from the 1980s celebrates a decade filled with unforgettable melodies, colorful personalities, and timeless optimism. Rather than simply collecting chart-toppers, Lauren has gathered songs that feel like sunshine pouring through the kitchen window, road trips with the windows down, evenings on the porch, and the comforting knowledge that home is exactly where you want to be.
Featuring artists from Hall & Oates and Cyndi Lauper to Crowded House, The Police, Tears for Fears, Talk Talk, and The B-52’s, this collection is a celebration of kindness, nostalgia, friendship, and the simple joy of sharing life’s everyday moments.
So pour a glass of lemonade, invite your four-legged friends to curl up nearby, and enjoy twenty classics that prove the 1980s are still as fresh as ever.
