G.R.L. Singer Lauren Bennett Dies At 37, Band Confirms

Lauren Bennett, the singer known for her work with pop group G.R.L. and for her featured vocals on LMFAO’s 2011 hit “Party Rock Anthem,” has died at 37, according to ABC News.

Bennett was a member of G.R.L., a girl group that drew attention in the early 2010s and released music that charted and circulated widely on pop radio and online. She was also recognized for her contribution to “Party Rock Anthem,” one of the defining dance-pop singles of the era, which became a global smash and a staple at clubs, sports arenas and parties.

ABC News reported her death in a breaking news item that identified her by her G.R.L. affiliation and her association with “Party Rock Anthem.” Additional coverage from outlets including ABC7 Los Angeles and Variety also reported Bennett’s death at 37.

Bennett’s death removes a distinct voice from a period of pop music marked by high-energy, crossover dance tracks and tightly branded group acts. Her presence in G.R.L. placed her in a wave of U.S. pop groups that leaned on polished harmonies and performance-heavy visuals, while her link to “Party Rock Anthem” connected her to a song that helped define mainstream dance music in the early 2010s.

For many listeners, “Party Rock Anthem” is remembered as an inescapable hit of its time, and Bennett’s featured role made her part of a recording that continues to be referenced in pop culture and replayed at events more than a decade later. Her work with G.R.L. also remains a touchstone for fans who followed the group’s releases and performances during its initial run.

Details about the circumstances of her death were not included in the ABC News headline and have not been provided in the context available here. No additional information about memorial plans, services, or statements from family, representatives, or former bandmates was included in the provided material.

What happens next will likely include formal announcements and tributes from collaborators and organizations connected to Bennett’s career, along with any public arrangements shared by her family or representatives. Music platforms and radio outlets often respond to the death of a prominent performer by revisiting catalog work, and coverage may continue as more confirmed details are released.

Bennett’s death at 37 marks a loss for fans of G.R.L. and for listeners who remember her as part of one of the most recognizable pop hits of the 2010s.
