The song If GOD Made Us in His Image 3 of Elysia is one that is simultaneously personal and uplifting in a universal manner. The content of the lyrical writing is very good and the message is not only powerful but also empowering. It addresses the heart of the listener, leaving room in his thoughts to ponder on faith, identity and hope.
This song has a lot of highlights and the duet is one of them. The two voices are so harmonized so that it seems like a divine- each one completes the other and enhances the feeling that the words carry. The ranged vocal style demonstrates the scope of Elysia as well as contributes to the depth of the spiritual themes, thus being even more effective.
Musically the song is a gorgeous experiment that blends the comfort of a country with the exaltant pace of the gospel. It all is punctuated by the foundations of Christian music, which grounds the track in faith without making it any less fresh and contemporary. The background music offers the perfect accent, but it does not drown the vocals.
Even the title, If GOD Made Us in His Image 3, implies more than a single track. It foams at possibility of continuation– maybe a retrospective on former writings or a continuous dialogue with herself and her religion. It challenges the listeners to contemplate even more in the meaning of being created in the image of God and how this reality influences how we perceive ourselves and others.
All in all, this is not a song but an experience. It is heartfelt, soulful and spiritually resonant–one that would remain with you even after it finishes playing.
