#OnRepeat: Liz Vice's "Empty Me Out"

So I really can't get enough of Liz Vice's "Empty Me Out." I came across this while on my computer last weekend and it's been #OnRepeat for the last week. This is one of those songs that makes you feel good, whether you're religious or not.

Liz Vice is a singer-songwriter from Portland Oregon whose music blends influences from R&B, Pop, Gospel, 1960's Soul and Contemporary Christian R&B music. It's always interesting hearing about musicians who overcome health issues; things that tend to completely alter their lives in a huge way. Such is the case with Liz Vice, who was on hemodialysis for three and a half years in her early twenties, finally receiving a kidney transplant which led to a full recovery. There's a Light, was Vice's  first album debut in 2015 and she is currently touring and performing along the west coast, in Canada, and in parts of the South East.

"Empty Me Out" is essentially a song of prayer, like many of the songs on Liz Vice's album, There's a Light. I enjoyed listening to much of her music because of the vulnerability, intimacy, and yet bright, powerful timbre that you can hear in her voice. It is very unique, and yet familiar at the same time. The music video for "Empty Me Out" is pretty interesting as well because you get to see how different people, while listening to her music, interpret the song.
