Album Of The Day: Sing Hope In The Darkness by Ginny Owens

Album Art of Ginny Owens's Sing Hope In The Darkness EP - A photo of a middle-aged white woman with brown hair on a black background, or maybe it's a painting based off a photo or an effect painted on top of a photo, because her face looks pretty photo-realistic, but the rest looks like a colorful painting. Her hair looks like a mix of purple and brown strokes, and her shirt looks like it's painted over with muted, dark colors. Behind her shoulders are bright colors, pink on her left and orange and a darker green on her right; it looks like mixes of colored paint with sloppy brushstrokes.

Released 5 years ago this past Thursday, this is fourth EP by Christian pop singer-songwriter Ginny Owens. Here, she provides five more worship-focused songs than most of her other music, many of these songs including a choir of background singers. They're all good songs and I could see them being sung at church worship services, but are also quality studio recordings with talented musicians. I have not listened to much Ginny Owens in the last 20 years, but I found this and it spoke to me. It's a blessing to find musicians who I had lost track of a few decades ago are still making music. It's also fun hearing her sing "Be Thou My Vision" all these years later, as that hymn opened and closed her debut album back in 1999.
