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.
