How Can It Be by Lauren Daigle

How Can It Be is Lauren Daigle's debut studio album, released in 2015. Her rich, husky voice set her apart at once, a soulful tone wrapped in warm Christian pop and pop rock. The theme is grace that is hard to take in, mercy offered to one who feels unworthy of it, and that honest wonder caught my attention.

Why listen?

The sound is warm and roomy, built to let her voice carry the songs. The production is clean and modern, never crowding the vocal. The lyrics hold to grace, trust, and a quiet awe at being loved. There is a gentle arc across the record, songs that rise into hope and rest in it. It is music for slow mornings and honest moments.

Favourite song: Trust in You

A plain prayer of surrender when plans fall apart, sung with real warmth. It became the song people knew her by, and rightly so.

When You don't move the mountains I'm needing You to move
When You don't part the waters I wish I could walk through
When You don't give the answers as I cry out to You
I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You

The way the song lets go of control without losing hope is what stays with me. It reminds me of a hike where the planned route closes and you take the path that opens instead, trusting it will still lead home. The album holds that calm trust, a road walked without worry, and it has stayed with me since.

Key takeaway

How Can It Be is warm, soulful, and quietly assured. A gentle recommendation for anyone who needs a steady voice on a hard day.
