On November 12, singer/songwriter Sara Groves released her 14th career studio album, What Makes It Through. This is her first collection of original songs since 2015's Floodplain. These songs about healing and reconciliation in an unsettled world have made an instant connection with many music critics and artist peers.
"Like a moth to a flame, I'm once again drawn to the warmth of Sara's tone and her consistent ability to craft a mesmerizing tune. What Makes It Through is another masterclass of songwriting from an artist who astoundingly keeps getting better with each release." --Josh Balogh, Jesus Freak Hideout
"Every song is captivating - all with lyrics that poignantly capture life's complex and vital messages. There are several personal songs that melt my heart. What Makes It Through is one of my top albums of the year in any genre." -- Kevin Davis, NewReleaseToday
"On What Makes It Through, Sara Groves expands upon her already impressive songwriting palette to include delicately introspective (and interpersonal) songs about connection and disconnection on a more lateral than supernatural level. She digs deeper into her own voice, and comes up with her most intimate project yet." -- John J. Thompson, True Tunes
"In What Makes It Through, Sara Groves delivers a masterclass in storytelling. Through the 9 tracks, she forges deeply into the listener's heart, compelling us to understand our own hurt, perceptions, and memories. In doing so, she invites us to experience reconciliation with self, God, and each other. Her lyrics and command of melody are next level." -- Jessica Morris, Jesus Wired
"If the average praise-and-worship album is like going to church, What Makes It Through is like the dear friend who takes you out for coffee after church for a deep conversation about real life. Sara's record is going to make me think and contemplate and seek and hope for years to come." -- Dave Trout, UTR Media
Many other artist-peers have been raving about the album on social media this last week, including high praise from Charlie Peacock, Randy Stonehill, Fernando Ortega, Jenny & Tyler, among others. What Makes It Through is available now wherever you get your music.
