Canadian Christian artist Solange Legal recently shared the inspiration and creative process behind her new song 'You Are'.
She described the song as "a declaration of truth and of love," reflecting both her personal faith journey and the influence of scripture. Solange explained that the song was inspired by the question Jesus asks in the Bible: "Who do you say that I am?" and serves as a response to God's many revealed qualities. She emphasized how the song draws from both the words of scripture and her own intimate relationship with God, capturing His faithfulness, holiness, and goodness.
Solange also revealed that the writing process for 'You Are' unfolded gradually, describing it as "like writing a love letter" that pieced together over time. Initially, she focused on the chorus, with the verses developing later as she reflected on words like holiness and goodness that deeply resonated with her journey of faith.
Beyond music, Solange spoke about how her work in Indigenous reconciliation intertwines with her artistry, creating unexpected opportunities for connection. She hopes that listeners will use 'You Are' as a chance to reflect on both who God is in their lives and how He defines their own identity, fostering moments of personal and spiritual reflection.
