Contemporary Christian Music trio Out Of Eden Interview

Out of Eden is a groundbreaking, pioneering, Grammy® nominated, and GMA Dove Award-winning Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) trio, comprised of sisters Lisa Nicole, Andrea Baca, and Danielle Torrez. Together they blazed a trail in the genre by blending pop/ R&B-tinged sounds with spiritual and relevant themes and lyrics. The result was a decade-plus long, cutting-edge, and award-winning career in the 90s and 2000s. One that took them across the country and around the world, criss-crossing the globe with the industry’s biggest names as CCM’s premier girl group. Their debut album, 1994’s Lovin’ the Day, produced the hit lead single “Lovely Day,” which was a fresh and contemporary nod to Bill Withers’ classic of the same name. The success of the song set the stage for their sophomore release, More Than You Know, released in 1996, which was even more successful and solidified the group’s place in the Christian music industry. Subsequent albums such as No Turning Back (1999), This Is Your Life (2002) and Love, Peace, & Happiness (2004) brought with them numerous awards and accolades, including GMA Dove Award wins for Best Urban Album (This Is Your Life), Urban Song of the Year (“Meditate”), and nominations for Urban Gospel Album of the Year (Love, Peace, & Happiness) and Urban Gospel Song of the Year (“Soldiers”). An organic creative pivot found the group reimagining classic songs of the church on their aptly titled 2005 album Hymns, which garnered a Grammy® nomination for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album at the 2006 ceremony. In 2007, the group announced they would disband to focus on their families and individual interests. In another surprise and welcomed move, and for the first time in nearly two decades, Out of Eden has announced that they will be releasing new music. 2024 will offer a brand-new single in October, on DARE Records. As they have matured, and their lives changed and ministries evolved, what persists is the bond, and divine blend, that has defined their sound since the onset of their career. #TheTonyHolleyShow #OutOfEden
