(August 21, 2026) -- "When I step behind a microphone," says Lauren Talley, "my most important job is to help the listener encounter the presence of God." The singer set out to do just that on her new collection for Horizon Records, and Walls (Part One) more than meets the challenge, enlarging her musical palette to offer listeners more ways than ever to feel their connection to Him.

Working with acclaimed producer Jason Webb, Talley blends inspirational, worship and CCM elements with the strains of Southern Gospel to create uniquely compelling accounts of God's grace. "In Walls (Part One)," she notes, "we can feel Him in the rhythm and soul of 'Walls,' and in the high energy of 'So So Good.' He shows up in the vulnerability of 'Mercy' and 'Little Faith,' and we can give Him all of our worship in the awe-inspiring lyrics of 'Look At The Lamb.'"

The greater breadth of arrangements allow for Talley's emotive power to range more freely, from the intimate moments that open "Little Faith" and "Mercy" to the boldly voiced testimonies of "Walls" and "So So Good," to the full throated power that's reached in the closing moments of her own "Look at the Lamb." And as the music of Walls (Part One) varies, so, too do the songs' lyrics reflect multiple moods and imagery -- yet even so, it's easy to perceive the twin elements of God's power and God's grace that underlie them:

He ain't never met a wall
That He couldn't tear down
Watch it crumbling to the ground
He ain't never met a wall
That He couldn't break through
Oh, just watch what He's gonna do
(Walls)
Now I'm alive to tell the story
How I've overcome
It's His goodness and mercy
And the power of His blood
I'm so glad that my freedom
Wasn't based on what I've done
It's His goodness and mercy
And the power of His blood
(Mercy)

"Throughout every song I sing," Lauren Talley affirms, "regardless of style, I want to take the listener on a ride through all the times we spend with the Lord, and point all the focus back to Him."
