Adelaide: It wasn't a hard decision to make at all. The band is a team effort turned family where there's a great balance of accountability, give, take, and creative collaboration. I think the thing that has been difficult to explain has been that my stage name, "Adelaide" is now also our band name. I still sign Adelaide but we all answer to it.
Adelaide: I can honestly say the growing process never ends. I've had to learn the healthy sides of both worship and performance while remaining completely transparent and "me". I know some people don't believe me when I say that I am just naturally a shy person. I've spent most of my life on stage in the background playing strings or backing vocals. That's my "safe place". I definitely view what I do with humility and I feel I have grown more comfortable as an artist. Not sure you'll ever see me head-banging, though. Haha!
Adelaide: There are so many songs on this album that could have been the title track. Ultimately, though, they all share a different message in their own way. They still relay the importance that it takes strength and bravery to share the Gospel in our society and face each day with that mentality. Neither of which we can achieve on our own, but both through fellowship as believers of THE Church and through Christ who gives us that strength. We felt "Strong + Brave" was the message we wanted to stick with the audience of the record and it turned out to be very fitting.
Adelaide: Two of the songs on the new record we've been doing live for a couple of years now. "Pick Up The Pieces" was written by Jake, Eric and Garrett before Adelaide was a band. We love the flexibility of being able to rock the song out or settle down with an acoustic version - both of which have gotten a huge response. The other song we've been doing live for awhile is "I'm Alive," which we've used to close out or concerts. We've recently released "Strong + Brave" and "Deep Waters," which we've added to our shows as well. We look forward to playing mostly songs from the new record this tour season.
Adelaide: This song was evolving from day one. In the first record, I had written a rap for the song "Risk It All," which was super fun and although no one had faith in me at first, it turned out to be a great addition (thank goodness!). I loved the dynamic of it because it is so unexpected yet fitting. From the moment Jake had written the music for "Chasing Echoes" and asked me to write lyrics, I knew it had to have a rap in it... it just felt right. It was all I could hear, but for this song, it had to be a whole verse, in my opinion. I don't necessarily think everyone was gung-ho about the idea at first, but when the lyrics came together and T-Jones was the guy that was going to rap it for us, it just became one of our favorite songs. Especially with a special guitar solo from the crazy talent of Jack D. from War of Ages.
Adelaide: We're practicing our new setlists, always continuing to write, touring, and balancing family through the process. We are so grateful for the opportunity God has given us to do this and we have been blown away by the doors He continues to open.
Adelaide: Our very own Jake Bond is helping out with the coming record for War of Ages so we're pretty pumped about that!
