Today for Artist Newsday we shared two stories, one about Lauren Daigle and Leanna Crawford.

Lauren Daigle is kicking off 2021 with the release of her new single, “Hold On To Me.” It marks her first offering since the release of 2018’s GRAMMY Award winning break out album Look Up Child. “Hold On To Me,” to be released February 26th combines Daigle’s legendary range and powerhouse vocals with the sweeping melody and heartfelt lyrics that convey a deep message of hope.

“The thing I love most about this song is that it lends itself to someone who is feeling incredibly vulnerable, someone who is feeling insecure, or uncertain,” shares Daigle. “There are times we may need a reminder of who we are and that we are worthy of having joy in our lives. In moments where the future may look uncertain and unknown, this is a song of hope that any person can cling to.”

Leanna Crawford has put out a brand new single called “Mean Girls” and she just recently released a new music video to go along with the single. Sharing the message of the song, Crawford explains, “The words we use are powerful. Some words can build people up while other hurtful words can tear down. Sadly, we’ve all experienced the latter and it’s those words that we just can’t seem to get out of heads no matter how old we are. I wrote this song as a prayer for myself but also for you because sometimes we need to be reminded that our worth is so much more than words.”

Doubts, I’ve had my share of doubts
But never more than right now
I’m wondering where are You
I’m on the edge of fall apart
But somehow Your promises
Find my troubled heart

These lyrics were a stumper and we will be bringing them back for next week’s game of Song Poetry!

Thanks for listening!
