{"title":"Audrey Assad","description":"\u003cp\u003eAudrey Assad is a Lebanese-American singer-songwriter whose work weaves together contemplative Christian faith with lush, piano-driven folk and pop. Her album \u003cem\u003eFortunate Fall\u003c\/em\u003e showcases her gift for intimate, theologically rich songwriting, while \u003cem\u003eInheritance\u003c\/em\u003e finds her exploring hymns and sacred music with quiet reverence. A distinctive voice in Christian and liturgical music, Assad's recordings resonate deeply with listeners drawn to music that is both honest and transcendent.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"assad-audrey-fortunate-fall","title":"Fortunate Fall CD","description":"A work of unusual subtlety and spiritual power, Audrey Assad's third album is a departure from the pop\/rock approach of her previous releases.  The Christian singer\/songwriter funded her latest project through Kickstarter with the goal of creating a worship song-cycle for the modern Church.  She succeeds brilliantly with contemplative lyrics that seem both deeply personal and timeless in their stately, yearning language.  Musically, much of \u003cem\u003eFortunate Fall\u003c\/em\u003e has a liturgical feel, framing meditative melodies in simple, finely detailed arrangements.  Assad's silvery vocal tones combine vulnerability with inner strength as she examines the theme of man's struggle for redemption in a sinful world.  She draws joy from melancholy in such poignant tracks as \u003ci\u003eHelp My Unbelief, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eI Shall Not Want,\" and \u003ci\u003eHumble.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eThe quiet, almost medieval grandeur of \u003cem\u003eO Happy Fault \u003c\/em\u003econtrasts with the coffeehouse-folk feel of\u003cem\u003e Lead Me On\u003c\/em\u003e and the bright waltz-time rhythm of\u003cem\u003e Good for Me\u003c\/em\u003e.  \u003cem\u003eYou Speak\u003c\/em\u003e closes the album with an intimate declaration of belief.
