First single (title track “Resonate”) releases Friday, August 27!
Hello! I’m about to release a new project, so I shared a little intro post on social media. Here’s the text for those who have found it here on my blog:
At the end of 2020, I was going through a heartbreaking miscarriage after what had already been a pretty challenging year for a number of reasons. 2021 came along and there was still a chill in the air. Not only was I processing my own life, but found myself walking beside friends and family who were enduring some unimaginable circumstances. Like many people, I could probably write pages about everything that happened in the last year and a half (but that’s for another day)! Through it all, I found myself singing new songs and waking up to write lyrics in the middle of the night because, quite honestly, I needed to whether I was going to share them or not…
What resulted is a new EP called ‘Resonate,’ which is a collection of hymns, spiritual songs and worship songs - four originals and two classics that you may recognize! The title track “Resonate” is a worship song, and was produced in Nashville by Jordan Sapp (he also produced my previously released songs “Cadence” and “Love Alive!”). The other five out of six songs were produced by me, alone in my home studio (a passion that I have rediscovered these past several months!)
As an artist, I’ve always promised myself that the songs I wrote would be honest. I long ago decided that if I wrote music that came from an honest place, then those who resonated with each individual song or album would find it somewhere along the way. The tracks on ‘Resonate’ were what I needed to create these past several months while processing both pain and hope. When creating this music, I kept having this thought that maybe there was someone - even if just one person - who was going through something during this tumultuous year and needed these songs too.
Amazing Grace. This is what I hope will be present in these songs. And if they are something that will bless you and be meaningful to you, then I hope you will find them and share them with anyone you know! The first single, which is also the title track, “Resonate,” will be out next Friday, August 27 !! and then the full EP in early September! Can’t wait to share. Thanks for reading, and more soon 🧡 With Love, Rorie
