Mission House Releases New Album 'I Heard a Song I Can't Ignore'
Integrity Music announces the release of the album 'I Heard A Song I Can't Ignore' from creative folk/rock worship duo Mission House. Comprised of Taylor Leonhardt and Jess Ray, the eight-song album is available now at all digital formats and is the follow-up to their self-titled EP released last winter.
"I Heard A Song I Can’t Ignore is the way we imagine an answer to the question: what is still true even in the most difficult moments of our lives?" Leonhardt and Ray explain. "Now more than ever, we feel the truth of Jesus’ words, 'In this world, you will have trouble.' There’s no denying the struggle of being human. Yet it’s precisely in the middle of that trouble that we hear His promise, 'Take heart, I have overcome the world.' There are these surprising gifts we find on our hardest days: comfort, peace, and hope that come from the presence of a God who walks with us through sorrow into joy."
I Heard A Song I Can't Ignore includes the previously released singles "Bet All I Have," "Good God," and their anthem "Behold." The album was written solely by Leonhardt and/or Ray, while Leslie Jordan joined them both to write "Take Heart" and "Good God." Additionally, a lyric video for "Never See The End" debuts today and can be viewed above.
The duo shares, "We are women, we are folk singer-songwriters and we brought all of who we are to this record, from the language we use to the way it sounds and feels - soulful, organic, memorable, and easy to listen to. It’s worship music that is very much us. The truth is, this album was just so fun for us to make. From start to finish, from writing with each other to getting in the studio with our friends and bringing them to life, it was a joyful season we’ll never forget. We hope this album carries that joy into the lives of every listener. And ultimately, we hope that we’ve created songs that are simple, singable, and true, songs for people to sing together."
