For those unaware, Behind the Scenes is a collaborative album by Auburn created in the aftermath of lockdown, built around reconnection and shared human experience.

Working with 32 writers, vocalists, musicians, and producers across the U.S., the U.K., and Brazil, the album carries an intimate feel that resonates with vinyl buyers who value authenticity, context, and artistry.

Blending roots-influenced Americana and soulful pop, the album delivers a warm, organic sound designed for full-album listening. With songs focused on relationships, friendships, and everyday life, Behind the Scenes offers a cohesive yet varied listening experience that encourages repeat spins and long-term shelf appeal.

Performing, writing, and recording since the age of 16, lead singer Liz Lenten re-launched Auburn in 2012 and has since released four albums recorded in Nashville with Grammy-nominated producer Thomm Jutz, earning critical acclaim, an extensive international airplay.

Liz tours regularly with Auburn Acoustic; hosts the podcast Behind the Scenes of an Indie Artist and was awarded a British Empire Medal in 2022 for Services to Music.

Committed to creating music that connects with audiences around the world, Liz opens her new recording on the emotively sculpted, breathy Bathroom Shelf and the lushly smooth Perfect Imperfections, the dulcet Americana vibe of Let the Good Times Begin, and then come both the veritably translucent Speaking in Tongues and the impassioned, and inherently sparkling title track Behind the Scenes.

Along next is the free-flowing beauty of What You Don’t Know which is itself backed seamlessly by the melodious Opposites, the impassioned Lie as Easy as You Breathe, the new set rounding out on the countrified gentle twang of Don’t Give Up, coming to an-all-too soon close on the low slung balladry of You’re beautiful along with the sheer elegance of the beautiful Sweet Dreams.

Some of the fantastic collaborators/players include: Thomm Jutz, Mo Pleasure, Sharon Vaughn, Michael Garvin, Lyn Williams, Gustavo Andriewiski, Will Fowler, Pat Garvey, The London strings, Martin Sutton, Cat Aimi, Dante Augusts, JB Bennetts and many more.
