Fair Trade Services announces the addition of new artist Hope Darst to their roster as she releases her debut song, "Peace Be Still,". The song was co-written with Mia Fieldes and Andrew Holt.

Hope Darst has faithfully spent much of her adult life knocking on some music related doors. She moved to Nashville when she was 19 and bounced around working various odd jobs and exploring different aspects of the music business. During this time, she met her husband, David, and went on to have two girls. Eventually feeling called into full-time ministry, Darst spent a decade as the worship leader for her local church and on the road with conferences and events. Now with a new album on the way this song is the first to give us a taster of what is to come.

Hope Darst has such a commanding, powerful and rich vocal that I would probably say she sounds musically a bit, actually a lot, like superstar British singer Adele. Her vocals sounds as powerful and rich as Adele's but also the musicality of the song fits into that genre as well. I fully adored the lyrics in the chorus, there is something special going on here with this single I can't wait to see the album being released in the summer.

Hope says "I'm turning 40 this year, and to think that at 40 I'm signing my first recording contract makes me cry knowing the story God has written for me - and the beautiful stories He writes for all of us that we can't even imagine. I dreamed of being an artist for 25 years, and then laid that dream aside to pursue what God had called me to do - raise a family and serve local church. I never imagined that 15 years later, God would lead me back to my first dream of writing and releasing music as an artist".

I love that story, it actually reminds me that God has his timing for everything and everyone. As said this is a stunning track but actually I can't wait to see a full album of songs like this and other creative avenues Hope will be taking.
