Bethany from Bellefontaine a small town in Ohio was awarded the top-selling female solo debut in Christian music for her self titled Sparrow Records which featured the #1 Single ‘All I Need’ for 2004. She was also nominated for both Female Vocalist and New Artist of the Year from GMA Music Award in the same year.
The new album ‘Imagination’ illuminates Bethany longing to see the heart and mind of her Maker with both an open eyes and heart. Produced by Ed Cash the 11 songs contain in the album were co-written or written directly by Bethany who says: “God’s unearthly grace and immeasurable love for us is the heartbeat of this whole record. This is a story of hope and redemption, one that paints a brutally and beautifully honest picture of what it is to really live by faith.”
Each song has a deep meaning whether it ranges from: “A light and airy ‘All That I Can Do’ which is about ‘learning to trust’ to the worshipful ‘Hallelujah’ to ‘Dreamer’ which tells a story of a good king who gave up everything for his kingdom Imagination sores with thought-provoking and heart bending stories design to invoke the listeners to mediate on God’s grace and redemption in new ways.”
From her bio it is written: “…As Imagination is born, Bethany continues to wrestle with the stuff of life, trying not to close off her heart nor pack away her true colours. And God continues to teach her more about what those colours look like…and the beautiful life He’s imagined for her, even beyond what she can begin to fathom.”
