Amy Grant: Embracing Her True Singer-Songwriter Voice

Singer-songwriter Amy Grant is embracing a new, "therapeutic" era in her music career, consciously freeing herself from creative constraints. Grant, who spoke at the Your Roots Are Showing conference in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 2026, expressed that the creative process is now a source of joy and therapeutic value.

Having released music for nearly half a century, Grant is confident in her current artistic direction. She notes a deliberate shift from previously "chasing different production styles" to firmly identifying as a singer-songwriter. This new approach prioritizes authenticity, with Grant aiming to create honest narratives from her unique perspective and sing about "things that are real."

Grant shared that she is actively creating music again for the first time in over a decade, acknowledging the evolving musical landscape. She stated her desire to "sit in the questions" and not fear exploring unrest in her lyrical content. This marks a significant phase as she navigates her sound and goals in the contemporary music scene.
