Adie, former frontwoman of The Benjamin Gate and also married to husband Jeremy Camp, is back to the music scene with her debut solo album Don’t Wait. Ultimately, it’s the couple’s personal and professional camaraderie, along with Adie’s expressive voice that makes Don’t Wait such a unique and compelling offering. Musically mirrors style of singer/songwriter Butterfly Boucher and the more electronic pop approach of Frou Frou, Don’t Wait is a seasoned, more introspective departure from Adie’s more aggressive rock roots in The Benjamin Gate.
Thematically speaking, Don’t Wait is very multi-faceted as it tackles everything from maintaining an eternal perspective on life (“Don’t Wait”), to relying on God—even in our weakest moments (“Sufficient), to a new understanding and appreciation of God’s grace (“What Have I Done?). In the process of making the album, Adie says she also felt a new resolve against spiritual complacency and a renewed desire to truly make every day count. “I’ve been a Christian for a long time, and it’s easy to get into a comfortable routine,” Adie confesses. “In Revelation, it speaks about not losing your first love. And I think the Lord has really been challenging me not to just be faithful in taking time for devotions each day but to be a person who really desires to spend time with Jesus and not compromise.”
