Artist:Lauren Daigle
Song:You Say
Album:Look Up Child
CCM singer songwriter Lauren Daigle crossed over to pop with the 2018 single You Say. She has potential to be a big star if she wants it. She was born Sept. 9, 1991 in Lake Charles, LA. She started seriously considering music when she was ill for a couple of years as a teen. Instead she planned to go to medical school and then do missionary work. While in the choir at Louisiana State University, she tried out for American Idol three times. Though she failed, Lauren got the music bug and she moved to Alpharetta, GA and joined North Point InsideOut which is a P&W group at North Point Community Church. After appearing on their album, Lauren signed with Centricity Records in 2013. Her 2015 debut album How Can It Be topped the Billboard Christian Album chart and it also reached #16 on the Billboard Hot 200. The album was certified Platinum. The single Trust in You topped the Christian Singles chart. That's pretty good for a CCM artist. Capitol Records owns Centricity. They decided to release Lauren's 2018 Look Up Child to the mainstream pop market. You Say not only topped the Christian chart but it reached #29 on the Billboard Hot 100. I guess the song is anthemic. Lauren writes and produces most of her songs with Jason Ingram and Paul Mabury of the band One Sonic Society. Ingram is a pianist with a lot of success producing CCM artists. Mabury is a drummer from Australia. He was in Hillsong before he moved to Nashville. Look Up Child was also certified Platinum. Lauren has won Grammys and other awards. It looks like Capitol may have a potential star on their hands. But does she want that as it could alienate her CCM fanbase. Time will tell. Here's the video for You Say by Lauren Daigle.
