Response to the celebration was strong with high pre-sales at the event as well as with digital downloads after the show via iTunes and Lydia\u2019s site lydiawalkermusic.com. The When I Dance video &#8211; now posted on YouTube &#8211; has received hundreds of hits daily since it\u2019s public release November 19th, 2011.<\/p>\n<p>Walker said, \u201cThe response has been overwhelming. I\u2019m so blessed to have such strong supporters and I\u2019m so glad they\u2019ve taken to the album so quickly. A special thanks goes out to everyone who helped make this event possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beloved is Lydia Walker\u2019s first professionally produced project and it was recorded the summer of 2011 with producer Curt Ryle of Big Matador Recording. The album includes ten songs, eight that are co-writes of Walker &amp; Ryle and two written by Walker.<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lydia Walker - When I Dance\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZzXoWuILY7s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<p>Beloved captures nineteen-year-old Lydia\u2019s heartfelt faith and shares an encouraging message of hope to those hurt by the disappointments of life. The music video &#8211; When I Dance &#8211; tells the story of a ballerina stuck in a music box dreaming of the freedom to dance and to be who she was created to be. The video was filmed in downtown Clarksville, Tennessee at the Smith-Trahern mansion.<\/p>\n<p>Due to over-whelming response of pre-sales, the CD pressing of Beloved is being rushed to release before Christmas. Fans can purchase the digital version now on Facebook, iTunes, CDBaby and at LydiaWalkerMusic.Com. A live Clarksville concert is being planned for early 2012 to celebrate Lydia Walker\u2019s successful momentum.
