In continuation of the ONE Music series, singer Lauren Hoffman is donating her song broken to ONE Campaign members today.

I am extremely excited to announce, that with the support of generous artists who are committed to our campaign to end extreme poverty, we will now be releasing ONE Music here at www.theONEblog.org every Tuesday.

Listen, download and share ONE Music with your friends every Tuesday.




“Last night I played a short impromptu set at a party and the love in this room overwhelmed me. It was so much bigger than me and my songs, but in that moment, I was the lightning rod, I was the conduit, and it was both humbling and empowering.

I feel so blessed to have music in my life, it has brought me so many gifts… music can reach beyond borders, beyond cultures and religions, into the heart of each ONE of us, where we are just beings, made of vibration and light. Music is a blessed gift because we can share it.

I am lending my song broken to the ONE campaign today, and it is an honor to have the opportunity to contribute in the most honest way I know how – from the quiet unnamed place inside of me to any open heart that should receive it.

Something I very much admire about the ONE campaign is that they do not ask for money, they ask for our voices, our action, and our recognition that this world is ONE. For me this song, broken, is about empathy, and about love in the face of imperfection. It is a personal song, inspired by one particular individual, but that is where the world changes, one individual at a time.”
