The 2014 Dove Award New Artist Of The Year returns with her anticipated sophomore set, Red Sea Road . As a response to a period of trying times for the singer-songwriter, Red Sea Road emanates hope from tracks like He Will, We’ve Got This Hope, You Are Loved on down to the title track inspired by, An unseen Hope [making] a Red Sea Road when there seems to be no way (Ann Voskamp). Piercing the doldrums of so much publicity given to darkness, Red Sea Road parts the way with a positive palette, while simultaneously dealing with serious subjects, etching an indelible mark on Holcomb's journey as an artist with obvious staying power. She's got music in her veins, and then some, but how refreshing is it to listen to someone willing to expand upon and stand out in her uber-talented environment? - Kevin Sparkman, CCM Magazine
I'm not sure what the past two years have been like for you and your community, but the past two years for our community have been heartbreaking. Red Sea Road is one of those songs that I had to write because I needed to sing what was true. I remember sitting down with my dear friends and co-writers, Christa Wells and Nicole Witt. I cried my way through catching them up on the year, and the tears were for the pain and the struggle and the loss we were walking through with several dear friends, but they were also for the way I kept being surprised by God's faithfulness to draw near to our breaking hearts and make a way for us to carry on, even when the grief and the pain felt unbearable. - Ellie
