Since the young age of six, Abigail Duhon has been sharing her heart through song and a passion for music. Now seventeen, the actress and pop artist has several movies (God's Not Dead, I'm Not Ashamed) and albums already behind her, and she signed with Dream Label Group last year. When describing her sound and mission, Abigail says "I want people to see that Christian music can be just as awesome as any secular song, and the beats can be just as good as Justin Bieber, but with a message behind them. I talk about finding identity in Christ, to be confident of who we are in Him and how you can worship God even with just a few words."
Abigail's newest release, her Dream Records debut self-titled EP, seeks to embody that mission in six songs.
EDM flavored "Into The Light" opens the album, leading into "Rebound," which captures Abigail's soulful vocals blending well with their pop background. Previously released "Dance Up" featuring fellow CCM artist Spencer Kane follows, the perfect dance anthem that keeps her infectious pop/EDM vibe at the forefront.
Energetic "Give Me More" once again highlights Abigail's versatile, powerhouse vocals, while emotional "I'm Not Ashamed" brings the tempo down for a tender moment inspired by the tragic death of Rachel Joy Scott in the Columbine High School shooting: "I am not ashamed / Because You've given me life / I am not afraid / Because You've opened my eyes / That whatever stands before me / I know You will hold me." Ending the album with a message of self-worth, "More Than Gold" is a lyrically strong reminder.
The Bottom Line:
Abigail Duhon has been crafting her pop sound since a young age, and now with some years and experience under her belt, it seems she's found her niche. This Dream Records debut meshes Abigail's soulful voice with EDM vibes to make Abigail Duhon a fun pop collection that holds promise for good things to come from the singer/songwriter.
