While creating the music for her new album  Look Up Child  there came a point when Lauren Daigle  realized she was a bit lost and overwhelmed. Lauren recalls...“I felt like there was this brief moment in time where I was losing myself to everything else that was happening. All the expectation, all the pressure – I was losing me, I was losing my identity.”

Caught up in the chaotic hustle of meetings and performances, she didn't know how to get a grip on the things she once loved about her work as a singer, songwriter, recording artist and worship leader. One day, she sat down with a friend and began talking with him about what she was experiencing. After hearing her out, he said, "Oh, you need to get in touch with your eight-year-old child again ... the eight-year-old self that loved life. That had no constraints, that didn't know capacity."

She left that conversation with a new thought to ponder: How would young Lauren navigate the world grown-up Lauren lived in now? 

When she realized the answer it was like her heart already knew, "I'm just supposed to be an eight-year-old child - like, look up child, that's all that this is about," Lauren said, with a ripple of joy in her voice. 

At one point, Lauren took a year off and went back to Louisiana and her roots. In this album story she shares her discoveries from that season, the songs God birthed, and more...
