LeAnn Rimes has released awakening as the latest cut from her new album ‘god’s work’.
The deeply personal track, written and produced by LeAnn and longtime collaborator Darrell Brown, is based on her own experience learning to navigate depression and anxiety.
“When I was writing this track, I was smack dab in the middle of my own awakening,” she says. “I was going through this overwhelming volume of emotions, and I was really able to channel those feelings of the pain and ecstasy of the awakening and let them shine through this song.
“I hope when others hear this track it helps shed some light on the experience of life and the expansion and contraction of the human experience, the way it does for me.”
awakening is the sixth song to be lifted from the star’s new album, which “includes a mix of ethereal, rhythmic, and grounded songs that take each listener on their own unique journey, exploring the duality of life and recognising the light and the dark in new ways,” according to a press release.
For ‘god’s work’, Rimes intentionally chose to go with an all-lowercase album title and track listing, explaining: “If we’re arguing about why the ‘g’ is or isn’t capitalised, we’re missing the whole point. It’s so important for us to focus on the messages, rather than the nuances.”
‘god’s work’ is out September 16 and available to pre-order now.
