What You Need to Know Terrian is a singer and songwriter who signed to Gotee Records in 2017. Her voice came to be known by many when she toured with pop icon TobyMac's DiverseCity. Her first single, "Light It Up," turned heads whenever it gained recognition from Pandora, Amazon Music, and other streaming services. Ahead of her new album's (Give It Time) release, Terrian released the top 25 single, "Big God." Give It Time is Terrian's debut full-length album featuring collaborations with notable Christian artists Aaron Cole, TobyMac, and Joshua Aaron. In Give It Time, Terrian delves into what it looked like for her to wait on the Lord and trust in His timing.
What It Sounds Like Terrian provides a fresh mixture of pop and R&B throughout Give It Time, sure to infuse your heart with joy. She elevates the mundane cycles of life into a beautiful song, writing not only from personal experience but also reflecting truth from the Word of God. This album has a diverse range of sounds. Some tracks like "Give It Time" and "Honestly, We Just Need Jesus" are soft and melodic ballads. On the other hand, some of the songs offer a more upbeat and energetic rhythm that will get you dancing, like "Big God" and "Matthew 5." Her voice flows between the instrumentation, weaving into a bigger narrative of the Lord's faithfulness that connects through each song.
Spiritual Highlights Terrian speaks to the difficulty in the waiting seasons of life yet emphasizes how we can find our most significant revelations of God in the waiting. The artist shares how God has been central to her joys and struggles.
"Forever Holy" encapsulates the message of "Big God" by highlighting Jesus' crucifixion and what makes God so significant in our lives: "You're the God of all my days/You're the Lamb who was slain/Every sin and every stain erased."
Best Song "Just Give Me You" is incredibly catchy, and I love how it gives language to a prayer I so often feel my heart saying, "Just give me You, God." You can sing this song on the good, bad, and anything in between. It will lift your spirits and remind you of the most important thing.
Final Word I loved this album from beginning to end. It provides a little bit of something for everyone from pop and R&B to Gospel. If you want to worship, have a dance party, jam out, or hold the lyrics in your heart, listen to Give It Time.
