The Soul’s Deepest Thirst: Ginny Owens Dives Into “A Different Kind of Water”

For three years, the heart of Dove and ASCAP Award-winning singer/songwriter Ginny Owens has been a quiet crucible, distilling life’s profound questions into melody and verse. On February 20, she offers the result: Different Kind of Water, a deeply reflective five-song EP produced by Kyle Schonewill. This is not a project of sudden inspiration, but a curated collection born from long rumination, giving voice to thoughts on legacy, faith, and the soul’s restless longing that have patiently awaited their moment. Owens describes the EP as a map for navigating the human spirit’s uncharted depths, containing “songs about what we do with our endless restlessness… about how we train our hearts to hope, even in darkness.” It is an invitation to explore the tension between our earthly aches and our eternal hope.

The journey begins with the pulsating title track, co-written with Tyrus Morgan and Michael Farren, which boldly names our familiar craving for “more”—a feeling Owens, as a creator, knows intimately. Yet, she presents a radical redirect: true satisfaction is supernatural, “a different kind of water” found not in worldly success but in divine fulfillment. This theme of holy solace echoes through the project, from the comforting piano ballad “God Will Meet You There,” which offers grace for our anger and disappointment, to the Gospel-tinged resilience of “On Repeat” and the liberating anthem “Let This Go.” Owens closes with the percolating pop of “Give It Away,” a joyful reminder that the answer to our longing often lies in extravagant love. To celebrate this poignant offering, Owens will share these songs and the stories behind them in intimate release events in New York City and Nashville, inviting listeners to finally dive into waters that truly quench.
