Description

Sarah made quite a splash with this debut recording, gaining attention and some very flattering praise from both secular (Billboard magazine) and Christian reviewers. Grounded firmly in the tradition of the great singer-songwriters, Sarah's music is a delightful mix of contemporary Christian and folk-pop styles.

Offering 9 original songs and two covers, Goodbye Jane is autobiographical, confessional, poetic and charming. Sarah's faith shows in her songs like it shows in her life. It's not in your face, explicit and direct. It's just part of who she is, shining through the stories her songs tell. The album includes a wonderful new arrangement of Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" and a contemporary rendition of the traditional Irish hymn "Be Thou My Vision."

Goodbye Jane speaks of the changes we undergo when striving to follow our dreams. When we grow up and move away from home, we sometimes leave a part of ourselves behind, a "plain Jane" we say "goodbye" to. With this debut, Sarah certainly said goodbye to her old life as a Nashville session singer and occasional coffeehouse performer. As both a solo artist and a member of Daughters of God, she is now one of the most sought-after Christian musicians in the country. Goodbye, Jane. Hello, Sarah!

Praise for Goodbye Jane
"Hart has a poet's heart and an angel's voice. Her vocals are pure, fluid, and engagingly childlike. In a day when Christian jargon abounds, these songs' naked honesty shines. Goodbye Jane feels like a collection of letters from a friend, not a pack of lofty sermons. In 'Marbles and Moss,' a graveyard serves as inspiration for making the most of one's days. 'Into My Garden' is a rarity on Christian albums: a love song that's truly poetic, passionate, and romantic, not merely polite. The best song, however, is the closer, 'Flickers of Light.' Recorded live with only guitar and bass, it's drop-dead gorgeous and lyrically spot-on. . . . Precious few projects transform the music critic into a grateful, awe-filled listener. Goodbye Jane is one."
