New Music from Ginny Owens
Love Be The Loudest, the ninth studio album from Ginny Owens, offers spirited pop and EDM-inspired tracks with thoughtful, encouraging lyrics.
Most people think my greatest life challenge is blindness; I ve been blind since age three. But that simply isn t true, says Owens. My greatest challenge is doing battle with the critical voices in my head that distract me from what s most important. It s the whispers of those who feel sorry for me, and don t think I hear their comments. It s the shouts of my own doubts and insecurities, asking, Do you have anything valuable to contribute to society? This album is an invitation to my heart, and the heart of the listener, to allow the perfect voice of Love to drown out all other voices and motivate us to live out love.
Get your copy at iTunes for just $9.99, or on Google Play or Amazon. Visit smarturl.it/lovebe to choose your store.
