Evie Clair is a follower of Jesus Christ. Being a part of this project was special to her because she was able to bask in the spirit of the Savior’s love and tenderness of these children who have such a bright faith and understanding of Him. She was able to sing a beautiful recreation of one of her favorite primary melodies by Newell Dayley arranged by her friend Shaun Barrowes – former American Idol contestant and film score composer. She also had the chance once again to work with the brilliant film director Dan LaPray. It was a thrilling experience for Evie to record at LDS Motion Picture Studios and film in Goshen at the Jerusalem replica where season 2 of her favorite TV Series – The Chosen was filmed.
Vocalist Evie Clair sings the well-known Primary song “I Feel My Savior’s Love,” while Primary-age children from around the world individually share how each feels the Savior’s love. The children share their love of the Savior and note how He sacrificed Himself, how He comforts them, how He loves everyone despite who they are. One calls Jesus Christ her friend. The music inspires introspection, prompting thoughts of how “His love is freely given.”
Evie Clair’s 3rd song in her summer of collaborations is with some fantastic kids from One Voice Children’s Choir (Grant, Lulu, Eva and Kainoa) who have a new smaller group called Kids America. This collab also included her good friend Benson Baril! These are some of the talented people behind the scenes:
Lead Producer: Big Time Nate
Songwriters: Big Time Nate, Shaun Barrowes, Evie Clair and Benson Baril
Videography: Dan LaPray
This project brings attention to the kids who are alone because of the global pandemic with the world still mostly closed. It shows that we need each other and we need to find a new sense of community that is supportive and uplifting. We need to help each other. We need to try harder to understand each other. We need to find peace. We need to find new ways to show people we love them. We need to get past our differences and help people feel hope and that life is worth living and fighting for.
Evie took on this project because she has felt that despair in the past and sees too many kids feeling it now. She has witnessed an epidemic of teens in her friend groups and community who have taken their own lives during this time of quarantine and she wants to help spread a message of hope and that we all have a purpose and a responsibility to help each other when we fall into dark places.
