Lauren Daigle - How Can It Be (Deluxe Edition) (2015)

On this expanded version of Daigle’s heartfelt 2015 full-length debut, five additional tracks round out the Louisiana-based crooner’s first foray into worship. Her sweet, smoky vocals are infused with spiritual weight on tracks like “Come Alive (Dry Bones),” a spare, Ezekiel 37-inspired call for restoration. This good Southern girl may have been turned away by American Idol, but the honest questioning on tunes like “Now Is Forever” and the wide-eyed wonder of “Wordless” give voice to understated adoration, a new, prayerful brand of praise.
