Lauren Mayberry has made her US TV solo debut with a performance of ‘Something In The Air’ on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Watch it below.
The Chvrches vocalist recently released her debut album ‘Vicious Creature’ via EMI, which opens with the anthemic track ‘Something In The Air’.
Mayberry performed the song on a recent episode of the talkshow prior to the album’s release – appearing in a sequin dress with the stage awash in aqua-blue hues. Watch her performance below.
On going solo after a decade’s worth of music with her main band, Mayberry told NME in 2023: “For any frontperson in a band, but especially a woman, as soon as you say the words ‘solo material’ people get very upset with you. I feel like every second sentence is, ‘I’m not breaking up the band, guys, however…’”
“But we’re lucky enough to have fans that care so much that they don’t want it to break up. I feel grateful, but I’m trying to be reassuring to them – ‘Just give us a couple more years guys, it’s going to be fine’.” The band last released ‘Screen Violence’ in 2021.
In 2025, Mayberry will embark on a run of six headline shows around the UK, which will kick off with a hometown show at Glasgow’s Barrowland Ballroom on March 20.
Dates in Edinburgh, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds will follow, before the run wraps up at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire on March 26. This will take place after her first solo US tour in January. Find tickets here.

In a three-star NME review of ‘Vicious Creature’, Hollie Geraghty wrote: “With ‘Vicious Creature’ Mayberry attempts to make sense of all the things she “couldn’t or wouldn’t write in the band”, as she shared with NME.”
“Within that safe space, she discovers a spectrum of previously unexplored emotions with free rein to play outside the boundaries of Chvrches’ electronic soundscapes.”
