Lindsey Stirling Depending on God for the Making of Her New Album

Violinist and dancer Lindsey Stirling recently scored her first #1 on Billboard's Christian Songs chart with her cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." The video of Stirling's cover, posted Dec. 7, quickly went viral, spurring the song's 3-1 rise on Hot Christian Songs (dated Jan. 9) and its No. 21 bow on the Holiday 100 and No. 81 entrance on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100; the song is Stirling's first hit on each chart.
Now, Stirling is getting ready to record her follow-up new album. "As soon as we finish this tour, mid-August, I'm just gonna jump straight into the studio," Stirling said. "It's pretty exciting and it's also terrifying to start thinking about a new album again. But I'm honestly so excited to see where it goes. I have a lot of ideas on directions it could go, and i'm really excited to see which way it could go. But the truth is, I don't know where it's going!"
As confident as Stirling is, the recording of a new album is still a cause for jitters. She confesses: "Well...part of that is due to the fact that I am going home for the sole purpose of writing a new album. Ahhh!!! Talk about intimidating! I am so scared! Last time I created an album, I wasn't even trying to write an album; I was just making songs for "kicks" and no one really knew or cared. But now...now I have fans all around the world, some of whom have been positively impacted by my music, and I want to continue creating new, uplifting, inspiring music for them. I want to keep touring, to keep making videos, to keep doing what I love. But all of that hinges on: DUN DUN DUUUUUN... my next album."
So, what's going to be Stirling's main muse for her new album? According to the violinist, God will be her greatest help in the making of her new record. "I have to remind myself that God is in control and that HE WANTS me to succeed just as much as I do. He helped inspire me to write my first album and He put miracles in place that made all of that possible. And I believe that He will continue to help me and inspire me. Not only have I felt His guiding influence, I have been so blessed to have the help of angels on Earth (my family, my friends, and my fans all over the world), who have given me amazing support and who have made it possible for me to pursue my dreams and make them a reality. We all have unique talents, a purpose, and work to do. I don't think my work is done yet...so hitherto and therefore, stay tuned! God will help me write the songs I need to sing."
