Lauren Daigle - Behold: The Complete Set

This is my most precious project,” says Lauren Daigle. “It's got fun moments, solemn moments, extrovert moments and introvert moments. And I'm just thrilled about taking my songwriting further on this record than anything I've done previously.

”While exhilarating and creatively liberating for Daigle, the two-time Grammy, seven-time Billboard Music Award, and four-time American Music Award winner, the sessions that resulted in her third, self-titled album didn’t begin smoothly. “I started off timid, uncertain – I would even say insecure because of the level of players I was surrounded by,” Daigle says. “But when you surround yourself with people that are better than you, you grow so much more.” And from this growth came songs that at their core, found Daigle expressing her own creativity in a way unlike she’s done in the past.

“Behold plays like an audio time capsule built of saxes, trombones and other horns (even tubas!), upright bass, brushes on drums, mellow sounding hollow body guitars, and vocals that are rich and distinctive but still somehow laid- back in their feel. Whereas Lauren Daigle’s debut album was energy-laced, radio-ready pop, her Christmas project seems in some ways to be a confident re-imagining of her own versatile vocal gifts, showcased in a more mature and subdued, but also more eloquent, context.”
