I make records as almost live journals, recording thoughts and feelings and stories of where I am at the time. And during the recording of 'Blink' I was a new mother and pregnant with my second. I had learned very quickly how fast time flies. So in order to capture moments that I know will not only never come again, but that go by so quickly when they do...I made a record inspired by the 2 new men in my life, Solomon and Oliver Lee, who make every day a brand new and never seen again miracle. "Blink" encompasses the songs I sing and wrote for them in an to attempt to make the most out of our time together.

Thematically smart, traditionally reminiscent| Posted October 02, 2007
Plumb delivers a thematically smart assortment of insightful music with all of the style and quality a devoted listener expects to hear when they put the album on the record player (as it were).
I personally like the driving songs that Plumb has produced in the past, but that style would not fit as neatly in the theme of this album. Like a sponge to a pool of water, this album pulls emotion from the listener's heart. Incorporating hymns, new songs and in a numinous and mysterious way, one finds that they disappear in each element of the music.
The instruments accent the gentle airy vocals. It targets a slightly different audience than some of her other albums, but as she says, she records the "thoughts and feelings and stories of where [she is] at the time". In a precious time of her life, Plumb passes the simplistic joy of the parent child relationship along in Blink - much like the Father in heaven smiles down on His little ones.
What a perfect album for a new mother.| Posted October 02, 2007
First, let me preface this review by saying that I am NOT a new mother. I am actually a new father twice over and could see playing this around my girls just to create such a great mood in the air.
I have listened to the album twice through this morning and cannot get it out my head that this is perfect for that mother of young children. You can definitely see the progression in Tiffany's (Plumb) music after she became pregnant in her last album. Blink just continues that progression towards a mother in love with her children and growing closer to God with each passing day.
With that said, I personally miss the eclectic and unique style that I grew to love starting with her first album.
