Jillian Edwards’ voice is a time machine, transporting listeners to another time and place entirely. Whether she’s drifting through a daydream or reflecting on the intricacies of what it means to be human, Edwards changes the scene with a singular note. Her latest endeavor ushers in a fresh setting—one filled with lush grass, quiet streams and vibrant wild flowers. With music ready-made for rest, solitude and comfort, Edwards invites listeners into a state of abiding on her new EP, Meadow. Meadow mirrors the season in which the majority of the songs were written. “The first time I felt an urgency and a vision for what my next collection of songs would be, my heart was filling up with songs that were a response to both faith-shaking moments and faith-solidifying moments in life. I’ve seen circumstances bring suffering and pain, but I’ve also seen healing and hope in those places. I wanted to give language to those moments.” An advocate for collaboration, Edwards co-wrote these new songs with kindred spirits David Leonard, Jonathan Smith, Peter Groenwald, Josh Bronleewe, Tony Wood and Jessie Early. Produced by Lucas Morton and executive produced by five-time GRAMMY® Award-winning artist Steven Curtis Chapman, Edwards’ father-in-law, Meadow marries imagery-rich lyrics with her pure, golden voice—etherial in its timbre and comforting in its cadence. Moreover, the words that fill these new tracks embody perhaps the truest iteration of the artist herself.
