All it takes is a split second to glimpse God's grace in the midst of daily life---and then, blink, that instant is gone forever! In her most personal album yet, Plumb shares fleeting but precious experiences from her own life---and opens your eyes to the momentary miracles that fill each new day. Includes "Always," "My Child," and "Sleep."
It’s been 10 years since a band called Plumb hit the scene with its electronic-rockdriven self-titled disc that paved the way for future mega-bands Evanescence and Flyleaf. Since 2000, Plumb has gone from being a band to being the stage moniker for lead vocalist-turned-soloist Tiffany Arbuckle Lee, a woman known for pensive lyrical fare and a rich, if not sometimes haunting, soprano voice.
But an even bigger change for Plumb came with her marriage and the subsequent birth of her two sons. The result became Blink, a collection of modern pop lullabies and reflective narratives on life as a wife, mother, artist and follower of God.
The voice is the same, but it’s much more gentle and subdued— something we’ve heard in the past but by no means across an entire record. Missing are the driving guitars and pulsating drum programs, instead replaced by ethereal synthesizers and understated electronic rhythms a la Dido.
From the tender awe of “My Sweet, My Lovely” and “Solomon’s Song” to the fearful recognition of responsibility conveyed in the soothingly crafted “Always,” the sonic effect is both compelling and captivating and sets the perfect tone for the complexities of motherly love.
At times, the lack of any up-tempo songs might leave longtime Plumb fans feeling a bit slighted. But with a balanced mix of vocal, instrumental and lyrical beauty—and the realization that this is basically a concept album— Blink could very well become a timeless work of art.

This cd was so perfect for me and I also got one for my sister-in-law. My 12 yr. old niece was in a coma for 8 days, and the song {God will take care of you}, sung by Plumb, kept coming to mind. Perfect. God really spoke to us through this CD.

This was an surprising CD - I'm used to some motion, rock, and rhythm with plumb - and awesome ballads. This CD was completely mellow, slow, and tended to lull me to sleep. A complete departure from the plumb you're used to...

I was very surprised to find that this artist was a Christian singer! I had been hearing her song "In My Arms" on the radio and loved it!! This CD was written to and for her children and it is so touching...the words are beautiful and she has a voice like an angel. I would highly recommend it and have purchased a second one for a Christmas Gift. It would make a wonderful gift for a new mother too!

Beautiful, awesome music!! I had heard this singers "In My Arms" and loved it, but had no idea that it was religious music until I began searching for the CD. Was pleasantly surprised to find it at Christian Books. What a different voice this singer has, very soulful and soothing!

As a new mother I was unable to find the words to truly express the unconditional love and beauty I was experiencing as a mother. Blink immediately brought tears to my eyes as I heard and felt the words that my heart sang every time I look into my precious son's eyes. God blesses our lives with such a precious responsibility and Tiffany put those to words.
