Ginny Owens’ new CD “Get In, I’m Driving” releases tomorrow – 9/13. I haven’t had the chance to review the full CD but from what I have heard, I am already in love with her mild and sultry voice. I hate to make a comparison but she reminds me alot of Norah Jones – who I absolutely love! So it hasn’t been hard for me to get attached to her lovely voice.
I am particularly fond of her new song Daughter of Destiny. I worked for many years at a facility for adolescents suffering from severe Mental Illness. It is messages like the one in this song that really touch me.
I hope that young girls everywhere will hear this song and know that the are beautifully made in God’s image, perfect and with purpose.
About Ginny Owens:
A three-time Dove Award winner, including the Gospel Music Association’s 2000 New Artist of the Year recipient, and multiple ASCAP Award winner, Ginny Owens has sold nearly one million albums. A top performer on the Christian radio charts with hits like “If You Want Me To,” “Free” and “I Wanna Be Moved,” among others, Owens’ music has impacted mainstream audiences at Lilith Fair, the Sundance Film Festival and the White House. Her music has received widespread film and television placement, including songs on the popular WB series’ “Roswell” and “Felicity.” Owens was featured on national television, including NBC’s “Today” and CNN, for her contribution to help rebuild New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina.Born and raised in Jackson, Miss., Owens was discovering melodies on the piano almost before she could complete a sentence. Songs began to emerge from her fingers as the vision began to leave her eyes and by the age of three. A degenerative eye condition left Owens completely blind. Despite her physical challenge, Owens pursued a music career. Songs provide a window into a world Owens can’t see and an outlet for her to express her thoughts and dreams. Owens’ unique musical style and inspirational lyrics continue to appeal to Christian and mainstream audiences alike.
In 2005 Owens launched The Fingerprint Initiative, a hands-on, non-profit organization designed to “bring hope to the world, one project and one touch at a time.” The organization has partnered with and raised money for groups such as Compassion International, International Justice Mission and Habitat for Humanity.
