Heather Williams offers a rich, contemporary sound on her full-length debut album, This Time Around. The songs reflect a life marked by tragedy, including Williams being given up by her mother at age 11 and losing an infant son as an adult. The songs also offer God’s hope—“Hallelujah,” a popular radio play, is a powerful selection that asks God to come into painful situations. “God Is Still God” encourages listeners to remember God’s control over challenges.
