Released 2 years ago today, this is the fourth and latest album from pop singer/songwriter Lauren Daigle. She's got great vocals and I love her musical style: it's a mix of crooning like Adele, Gospel/R&B, and beautiful creole jazz from her home state of Louisiana. In 2018 she had a top-notch album with Look Up Child, and if this new self-titled album isn't as good or worth the five-year wait, it's definitely not a shortage of new songs. Daigle delivers 20 songs for a lengthy double album, and although it's never bad songs, it never really wows me like the last album did. She does speak very personally about her struggles in life on some songs and celebrates God's love and grace on others. There are a few songs that might make some of her Christian fans uncomfortable, but that might be a good thing to make them think a bit. I need to listen to this more because I did like it more than I remembered from my last listen.
