Contemporary singer/songwriter Sarah Taylor Young is thrilled to release her new EP, Step Into Freedom. The track was released in April and is already creating buzz among music industry pundits and fans alike after its international premiere on SoBro Radio’s NuMu Friday (a streaming radio platform that allows listeners to enjoy Nashville songwriters around the world). The single is now available on all streaming platforms and digital retailers and the physical EP can be purchased here from May 15.
Step Into Freedom takes Young’s country roots and seamlessly blends them with CCM, Pop and Inspiration to create his own unique sound. “Step Into Freedom” is an anthem to Young’s life and story. The album was produced by Brian White and multiple Dove Award-winning songwriter Matt Houston. CCM artist Karyn Williams, who recently toured with Natalie Grant and The Newsboys, also features as a backing vocalist. All songs were written or co-written by Young. The five-song collection, recorded at The Parlor in Nashville, will be available digitally in fall 2021. The first single, “I Still Believe,” was released in February.
The release of this project is extremely significant to Young. It opens a whole new chapter for her, both as an artist and personally, as a woman who has overcome an abusive relationship. Step Into Freedom is also the name of Young’s new ministry that she and her husband, Adam, are launching: “My mission is to help other women who have experienced or are facing similar circumstances and remind them that they are not alone.” Young added, “I have been on my own journey of recovery for quite some time now. I decided to turn my personal tragedy into a way to help others when I was pregnant with my daughter Olivia, now 4 years old. I began to experience a relationship with Jesus Christ that I didn’t know existed. He is not only my Lord and Savior, but He also nailed all of my guilt and shame to the cross. He nailed my past and my burdens. He nailed my part as well as the parts of my abuser too. It was cleansed.” No luggage.
The first Step Into Freedom conference will take place on May 15 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Life Elevator Church in Murfreesboro, TN, where Young is a minister and has helped revive the church. here.
