Product Description

Little Bird CD is Misty Edwards' follow up album to her widely acclaimed Only a Shadow.

Drawing on her experience as an intern at the International House of Prayer, this album has a deeply reflective and contemplative feel. Moving away slightly from the corporate worship style of her previous collection, the songs on this album focus more on creative lyrics than repetitive choruses and highlight Misty's talent as a poet and writer.

Confessing to this being a more enjoyable path for her as a writer, Misty admits that the process has caused her to think outside the box more, and not rest in the security of the corporate worship expression and style.

The content of Little Bird reflects more the pattern of music enjoyed by Edwards, and will connect better with listeners outside the Christian music tradition. "It's also a case of being authentic to what I like," she says, "it was in my heart to reach those people."

Little Bird will satisfy the spiritually thirsty with its musical and lyrical authenticity as it successfully erases the line between the sacred and the secular rather than trying to keep church songs in one box and love songs in another.

Her hope is to stir up conversations and tell the story and mystery of God right there amid our real lives and in the dirt of humanity. "I'm tying together the transcendent and the earthy - the mystery and holiness of who God is, but also the brokenness of our lives and how those two worlds come together," she says.

Little Bird's highlights include the xylophone and marimba flecked title track and multi-layered guitars of "Sound of a Heart". This an album for the solid Christian to enjoy and for introducing secular music fans to meaningful, lyrical, seriously good music with a clear spiritual heart.

Publishers's Description

With Misty's new album 'Little Bird' (which comes on the heels of 2013's critically lauded Only a Shadow), there's a decidedly different slant towards the singer/songwriter side of this immensely talented artist, and for the first time thus far in her ministry, exposes several shades of deeper reflection.

'Little Bird' has the ability to take flight towards the spiritually thirsty of varying backgrounds that converge at the crossroads of musical and lyrical authenticity. From strictly a sonic perspective, listeners are likely to pick up on noted, independently-minded influences. Add in all-star production from the legendary, 14 Grammy Award-winning / 25 Dove Award-winning Brown Bannister, plus co-production from the Grammy-nominated Paul Moak (The Blind Boys of Alabama, Mat Kearney), and the blend of earthy innovation with analogue experimentation, alongside a vast myriad of subject matter, is nothing short of masterful.

"I'm definitely an introvert with a philosophical heart," concedes Misty. "The frailty and purpose of life are what drives me the most, and I've always been so aware of both. I'm captivated by thoughts of eternity, who God is, and I'm very consumed with serving an audience of one. What does He want from me? Living that question leads to so many more, and I'm driven to fulfill His purpose."With Misty's new album 'Little Bird' (which comes on the heels of 2013's critically lauded Only a Shadow), there's a decidedly different slant towards the singer/songwriter side of this immensely talented artist, and for the first time thus far in her ministry, exposes several shades of deeper reflection.
