With her sophomore album, 'Rebel,' set to release soon, Wilson is poised to embark on a bold new journey, blending her unwavering faith with the soulful melodies of country music.

Reflecting on her musical evolution since her debut album, also titled ‘My Jesus,' Wilson emphasises her commitment to authenticity.

Indeed, 'Rebel' serves as a convergence of Wilson's spiritual convictions and the rich musical heritage of the country. Recognizing the resonance between her artistic vision and Nashville's vibrant music scene, Wilson was approached by recording executive Cindy Mabe to explore a crossover into country music—a proposition initially met with hesitation.

As ‘Rebel’ takes shape, Wilson's innovative approach to blending country and Christian themes emerges. Each of the album's 16 tracks is imbued with a profound sense of spirituality, seamlessly woven into lively and often sassy melodies. Wilson effortlessly navigates the nuances of both genres, infusing her songs with elements that resonate deeply with listeners of all backgrounds.

Whether subtly weaving faith into the fabric of her lyrics or delivering impassioned testimonials about her beliefs, Wilson's authenticity shines through in every performance. Rooted in personal experiences, including the grief of her brother's loss, her music resonates on a profound level, captivating audiences across the country and Christian music landscapes alike.

As anticipation builds for the release of ‘Rebel’, Wilson stands as a testament to the power of artistic integrity and the transformative potential of music to bridge divides and uplift souls.
