Behold [LP]

Behold plays like an audio time capsule built of saxes, horns, upright bass, brushes on drums, mellow sounding hollow body guitars, and vocals that are rich and distinctive but still somehow laid-back in their feel. Lauren Daigle's Christmas project seems in some ways to be a confident reimagining of her own versatile vocal gifts, showcased in a more mature and subdued, but also more eloquent, context. Behold includes nine yuletide standards and one original.
