Tara Jackson Releases New Project, “Love Come Down”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE // May 21, 2013 // BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Christian music recording artist, Tara Jackson, is excited to announce that her highly-anticipated sophomore solo project, Love Come Down, is now available world-wide viaiTunes, AmazonMP3.com, and her website TaraJacksonOnline.com.

Following her successful debut album of 2008, Tara teamed with veteran songwriters/producers Jay Speight (Newsong, Travis Tritt) and Tyrus Morgan (Newsong) on the new project. The collaboration resulted in a smartly polished collection of bright pop melodies and moving ballads.

“Love Come Down is an honest reflection of where I’ve been, where I am, and who God is molding me to be,” Tara says. “Music, by its very nature, is an outpouring of triumphs and trials, stories set to song that encourage and uplift others. I was very intentional in making sure each song spoke deeply to me—testifying to God’s goodness and grace in my own life—and it’s my prayer they will speak to others’ hearts as well.”

The new project has already received acclaim from BREATHEcast.com. “In our age of overstatement where artists trump on loud stadium building sounds and clever polytechnics,” the site states, ”Jackson uses just her voice. [The] well-invested emotional verities within her voice have a way of moving these God-centered songs from just our speaker way into our heart.”

“God wants us to see the world through His eyes and heart,” Tara shares. “Love Come Down is about allowing God’s love to break down walls and barriers around my own heart, to lay down my expectations and let Him overtake.”

He will be a wonderful addition to BFA.

Having over 300 people apply for the job, it was a hard decision due to all the talent I heard. I want to thank each person who took their time and effort to apply for the position. I am truly honored that so many wanted to be a part of our ministry. I know God has a place and time for you to use your talent for him.”
