Sparrow Records launch Phoenix-based singer Audrey Assad

27 YEAR OLD Phoenix-based Audrey Assad will have her debut album release in the US through Sparrow Records on 13th July. 'The House You're Building' is produced by Marshall Altman (Natasha Bedingfield, Bethany Dillon) and features songwriting collaborations with Matt Maher, Phillip LaRue, Ben Glover and others. Assad has previously been heard on a duet with Chris Tomlin on his 'Glory In The Highest' Christmas album as well as singing on projects by Brandon Heath, Rawsrvnt and Jars Of Clay. A digital EP 'For Love Of You' is currently on release. Said Audrey about her forthcoming album, "The record is about faith. It's about the cross and fear and pain and how God is carrying me even though sometimes it doesn't feel like it. Marshall pulled things out of me emotionally that I don't think I'd ever accessed, making me realize that every time I sing these songs, I have to channel my pain and walk through it. That's been my journey the last few years, learning to believe that and walk in that acceptance of God choosing me. That's what my journey will probably always be. The first reason I write songs is to preach to myself." CR
