Summary: Christian Devotions SPEAK UP! February 15 – Lanae’ Hale 6:00 p.m. EST Join us this week on Christian Devotions SPEAK UP! as host Scott McCausey interviews singer and songwriter, Lanae’ Hale. Meet Lanae’ Hale and you’ll be captured by the vibrant young singer/songwriter whose textured, up-to-date songs, also carry wisdom, soul, and spirit well beyond her years. Lanae’ has been getting ready for this moment; practicing, singing, playing, and writing, since she was, well, in her words, “little bitty.” Raised by a musical family including a dad that led worship, she has always had a love for music. While Lanae’s brand of music is a bit more subtle than many, her messages are loud and clear. On first listen, what initially hits you is the versatility and range of her voice. She can be porcelain smooth, soft as a prayer and then grab you with a soulful jazz-tinged growl. She has the rare capacity of creating an infectious hook with a simple change of phrasing or by changing the course of a melody with a crisp, clear vocal punctuation mark. Her voice has such range that it’s easy to imagine her leading a sweet choir one moment or a soulful-warehouse jazz unit the next. In the song “Stay,” her call to “please stay,” builds from a sweet request to a daunting and desperate plea, with the capability to take you to your knees. She also has a gripping testimony through experiences with worldly pressures. Find out more about her music and ministry at www.lanaehale.com.
