Album Of The Day: Look Up Child by Lauren Daigle

Album Art of Lauren Daigle's Look Up Child album - On a mottled gray background, a black and white photo of a woman from the shoulders up looking to the right an slightly up. The photo is mostly a profile angle, with just a bit of her left eyelash showing behind her nose. Her hair is up inside a cloth that is wrapped around the top and back of her head, covering most of her ears as well. What is visible from her ear has a long earring hanging from it, and her hair covering also has some braided strings hanging from it. At the very top, on the left in a gray-black is the artist name in small print, and on the top right is the album title.

This album made New Orleans-based pop singer Lauren Daigle a star, and it's a very beautiful album. Some complain that she sounds a lot like Adele, and there's certainly many similarities in their vocal style and musical genre. Daigle's songs are mostly slow-to-mid-tempo ballads and her backing musicians are hitting all the right notes. But Lauren Daigle's songs bring more of a reggae and Gospel feel to the music than you would find on an Adele album, for sure. Lyrically, much of the album is Ms. Daigle talking about her personal struggles with life, faith and religion. And the album closes with the hymn "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus" with a reggae beat. I find this album full of very memorable, inspiring songs and it's a joy to listen to even if it doesn't rock.
