Audrey Assad Reveals Details About Her New Album "Inheritance"

Audrey Assad releases her second independent album, Inheritance, Feb 12 on Fortunate Fall Records with Tone Tree Music distribution. This new album is a collection of hymns and original songs that pay homage to Assad's childhood faith.
Audrey co-produces Inheritance with Daniel James (Canon Blue, Joy Williams, Among Savages). The resulting album projects a unique soundscape through a cinematic-styled approach featuring lush textures and wide, expansive rhythms that allow her voice to glide effortlessly over a diverse landscape of prayerful contemplation.
"I knew that Inheritance had to be much more than me going into the studio and simply doing pretty renditions of hymns we all know and love," says Audrey. "I couldn't be satisfied with that-I had to make something both bright and dark-colored honestly with my own doubts and weaknesses, so that the Lord who inspired these songs could be even more visible in it. Inheritance is an offering I am humbled, privileged and challenged to make-and I pray it will be a gift to anyone who hears it."
In many ways, a hymns album is a return home for Audrey who grew up learning to sing in a Plymouth Brethren community. "I was raised in a church where we didn't use any instruments on Sunday mornings," Audrey notes. "I learned to sing there, from the old hymnbooks, in four-part harmony, with my family and my neighbors. It was multi-generational, it was deep and rich and beautiful, and like most of my favorite worship music, it was steeped in community."
All the songs on Inheritance infuse a modern sensibility with Audrey's influences to form something entirely new. The fullInheritance track listing follows:
01) Ubi Caritas
02) Holy, Holy, Holy
03) Be Thou My Vision
04) I Wonder As I Wander
05) How Can I Keep From Singing
06) Oh, The Deep, Deep Love Of Jesus
07) Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me yet
08) New Every Morning
09) It Is Well With My Soul
10) Even Unto Death
11) Abide With Me
