Arden, North Carolina (January 5, 2024) — For their third Horizon Records single, the powerhouse Southern Gospel collaboration of Lauren, Amber & Kenna offer a strong opening to the new year in “Prove ‘Em Wrong.”
Written by the three women — Lauren Talley, Amber Eppinette Saunders of 11th Hour and acclaimed songwriter Kenna Turner West — and Michael Farren, “Prove ‘Em Wrong” encourages listeners to resist the voices of fear and doubt by affirming the strength of faith and God’s power.
“It’s always a joy to write a song with these ladies,” says Kenna, “and when we add our friend Michael Farren to the mix, I always know that we are going to walk away from the writing session with something that is very meaningful to us — like this song.”
Produced by Roger Talley, the track features a dynamic, wide-ranging lead vocal from Amber and muscular harmonies from Lauren and Kenna, set to a forward-leaning, clavinet-driven rhythm made for clapping hands — and sure enough, in an extended passage that captures the essence of spontaneous praise, that’s exactly what listeners get in the back half of the song. Breaking through the restraints usually found in the recording studio, “Prove ‘Em Wrong” offers, in its joyously assertive refrain, all the spirit of an unscripted moment of revelation through song.
“Many people battle the lies of the enemy. Fear, doubt, and shame are all results of those very lies,” observes Amber. “We wrote this song to encourage the body of believers that Satan is nothing more than a liar and he is going to be PROVEN WRONG because we have the VICTORY through Jesus!!”
And Lauren concludes, “My friend Amber Eppinette Saunders sings her face off on a song with a great truth: Every day we’re bombarded with negative messages from the world around us. Our enemy would have us believe that we’re unloved, defeated, and alone, but we have a choice. We can confront those lies with the truth of God’s Word. Let your praise be loud, loud, loud — go on and prove ’em wrong!”
