Singer Lauv's sophomore album "All 4 Nothing" was released on August 5th after several sporadic single releases over the past year. The album features content that differs from his previous works and takes a new approach to songwriting and collaboration. Lauv's personal journey to find his inner light and focus on mental health awareness are themes present in his music, as well as his non-profit foundation, the Blue Boy Foundation, and his newly announced LAUV’S MEDITATION CLUB, a daily guided meditation hotline.
