The genre-blending album “Twilight Streams” arrives alongside two major books, spotlighting the author and artist’s fusion of music, mythology, and feminist thought.

United States, 31st Dec 2025 – Pulitzer-nominated author, cultural anthropologist, and singer-composer Lauren Coyle Rosen is entering a striking new creative chapter with the announcement of her seventh music album, Twilight Streams, alongside two major forthcoming books—including a highly anticipated collaboration with folk-rock legend Ani DiFranco.

Based in Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia, Coyle Rosen will release Twilight Streams on Jan. 31, 2026. The album weaves together synth and chamber pop, hypnotic rhythmic textures, and her signature ethereal vocals, all anchored by poetic, spiritually infused lyrics.

“For Twilight Streams, I expanded far beyond my usual realm of familiarity and comfort—both in sound and language,” Coyle Rosen said. “As I composed the songs, I visualized and even embodied some of the most profound spiritual lessons and wisdom I’ve encountered in my life. I hope the sonic tonic conveys the powers, contradictions, and unyielding truths at play in many theaters of human experience.”

The new album arrives on the heels of an extraordinarily prolific period that saw Coyle Rosen release her first six albums in 2025, cementing her reputation as an artist unafraid of bold creative momentum.

Twilight Streams also follows her recent announcement of another major literary work, Goddess—a sweeping global history of goddesses that examines their cultural centrality as well as their systematic erasures. The book will be published by Holt.

In addition, Coyle Rosen is preparing for the March 3, 2026 release of The Spirit of Ani: Reflections on Spirituality, Feminism, Music, and Freedom, a book she coauthored with DiFranco. The title is now available for preorder through Amazon and other major booksellers. Signed copies and limited-run prints of DiFranco’s painting Spirit Becomes Flesh are available through the book’s publisher, Akashic Books.

“The collaborative book I wrote with the singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco, as well as the collaborative spiritual biography I wrote with composer Hannibal Lokumbe, helped inspire my turn toward trusting my own creative flow in music,” Coyle Rosen said. “It’s amazing how fast composing can go when I get out of my own way and trust my intuition.”

Twilight Streams will be available on all major streaming platforms and through laurencoylerosenmusic.com. Coyle Rosen’s music can also be found on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and other digital platforms. More information about her writing, art, and upcoming releases is available at laurencoylerosen.com.
