“Lauren Daigle” brings a new side of the singer to light for the world, but it is a side that Daigle says has been there all along. “This is different than what people have known of me in the past, but not different from myself,” she said. “For all the fans that have been with me in my journey from the very, very, very beginning, this is no different than a ‘You Say’ moment for me. These are other little pieces of me that you’re now going to get to learn of as well.”
The singer said that Hebrews 4:12 is a verse that resonates with her new album. The passage says, “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”
Daigle sees the songs on her new album as being specifically for the soul or the spirit. During the writing process, she would realize, “That would be a song that I would write from the soul for the soul, and this is a song that I’d write from the Spirit for the spirit; these songs of heartache and longing and difficulty and joy and newness and all that, they’re coming from this soul lane, but there’s these other God songs that are also me as well.”
