eowyn - identity

If the BarlowGirl sisters ever went solo, I imagine the music produced would sound very similar to indie artist, Eowyn. Hailing from Nashville, Eowyn blends heavy drums, guitar and unique vocals to create her sophomore album, Identity.


With a sound similar to Evanescence - and maybe even Alanis Morissette - each song on the album expresses the help that Jesus gives in rough times. With songs like "Helpless," "Remedy," and "Without You," Eowyn affirms that we are nothing without Christ and He is the only one we need to live life to the fullest.


"Locked Away" comes in at track number three. The sound and lyrics make it obvious as to why this song was the most added single to Christian rock radio three weeks in a row. With a screaming guitar, Eowyn reminds listeners that we can chain ourselves up and shut ourselves out, but Jesus is the one we need to truly find ourselves.


One of my favorites on the album is the song "Time." In this track Eowyn slows things down a bit, giving way to a stunning ballad to Jesus. Fans get a taste of what Eowyn is all about, with the powerful lyric, "When all the world was waged against me, You took the time to show me that You loved me." In another favorite, "Hold Me," Eowyn uses a hypnotizing tune to describe to listeners that "When everyone's fears become their stones" Jesus is there for strength to carry us out. She pleads with Jesus that "even when I try with all my might but I'm still broken down, Jesus hold me."


Concluding the album perfectly is the song, "You Saw Me." It quickens the pace to end the album with a powerful jolt while explaining the omniscience of God, and how He "always saw the best of me; saw right through me."


Eowyn has proven herself one of the hardest working independent artists in the CCM industry. With intense touring and high rising singles, she continues to create must-have albums. Identity is no different. With powerful drums and guitars, Eowyn's voice brings it all together to create an incredible album.
