I DREAM OF YOU

 

When I made the original I Dream of You back in 2014, I had NO IDEA how much it would connect so deeply with you.

I didn’t know that over 150,000 CDs of the 2014 album would end up in the hands of parents of little ones. And we certainly didn’t know that these songs would eventually be streamed over 475 million times!

All I knew was I had a whole lot going on in my heart being a new mom, and I found myself writing song after song expressing my love for my daughters, Lucy and Nora. Those songs became my first lullaby album. It’s kind of funny to think that we put the sound of crickets chirping at the very end of I Dream of You, because that’s also what we heard from the public when it released ... crickets. 🦗 🤣 ⁣

If I’m being totally honest, I was disappointed. But it was a record that we knew we were supposed to make. Slowly over time, I Dream of You gained momentum. Moms kept telling other moms about it and before we knew it, it became my most popular album! ⁣

I’ve heard hundreds and hudreds of stories over the years from people all over the world telling me how God used these simple songs to bring peace into their homes. That’s why we decided to make I Dream of You: CALM in 2018. We knew families were hungry for peaceful songs, but this time you helped us (through Kickstarter) to up the production value and add orchestral arrangements and a choir and the result felt like magic.✨⁣

Since then, we haven’t stopped wrapping up my all-time favorite songs in new orchestral arrangements and choral parts that feel absolutely enchanting. 🌈⁣

It’s easy to listen to these albums. Just tell your smart phone or smart speaker to:
