1 Girl Nation

Power pop vocal group 1GN is poised to take the world by storm. After causing a stir with its 2013 self-titled debut album "1 Girl Nation," which produced such catchy pop hits as “While We’re Young,” the dancy EDM-infused “Vertical,” and the heart-filled “Count Your Rainbows,” the girls became an instant sensation. The debut album reached No. 2 on Billboard’s “Heatseeker Albums” chart, and No. 9 on its “Top Christian Albums” list, causing a response so dramatic that the group earned a “New Artist of the Year” nomination in the 45th Annual Dove Awards. This time around, after losing two members and enduring many challenges, the girls have reemerged with a powerful and more focused message. Now a trio, comprised of Carmen Hadley, Kayli Robinson, and Lauryn Taylor Bach, the group reflects a maturing sound and appeal to ever-widening audiences. Carmen explains, “Our message is going to be more impacting than ever because we ourselves have been through the ‘fire.’ We understand more about what our fans are going through, and hopefully we can really engage them with songs and ideas that speak to them.” With a musical style reminiscent of many mainstream superstar acts, 1GN showcases an upbeat blend of confident, catchy Christian pop music with lyrics intently focused on overcoming hate with love, and having fun while living a life of authentic faith. Riding the momentum of their debut album, the girls spent the first year of their career creating an eye-catching, electrifying live show. As 1GN gears up for the release of their second full-length album "Unite," the girls are more unified than ever. "We have been through so much together," notes Lauryn Taylor. “We have shared great times and really dark times. But through it all we’ve come out stronger.” In bringing their sophomore album’s first radio single “Get Hype” to life, 1GN created a fresh new sound by tapping into each member’s unique musical skills. The song is an undeniably hooky pop track that gets into your soul and makes you want to dance. The girls even partnered with nationally known choreographer Chase Benz to create the “Hyphy” dance, featured in the song’s official music video. “As Christians, we have more to hope for and more to celebrate than anyone can imagine,” explains Kayli. “A song like ‘Get Hype’ is just a modern expression of the joy and excitement we should feel as members of the body of Christ.” The album also includes the artful and hooky “Cinema,” in which the girls consider the thought-provoking contemplation, “What if my life was a cinema; what would the story tell?” as well as the anthemic song “Guard Your Heart,” a kind of slogan for the girls to their fans... “This world is throwing so much at each of us, and it’s very easy to get drawn in and deceived by the messages and values we are hit with,” explains Lauryn Taylor. “ ‘Guard Your Heart’ is an encouragement for everyone to protect who God made you to be, to be strong in who you are, and to keep your spirit from being corrupted by the world.” UNITE now available! http://1gnofficial.com/1gn-unite
