Grown-up Tricia Brock explores themes relevant to life as a wife and mother

Tricia Brock—the voice behind successful radio singles such as “One Girl Revolution,” “We Live” and “Stand in the Rain” by the band Superchick—debuts Radiate (804147167028, Inpop Records), her first solo project, Aug. 13. 

Brock joined the contemporary Christian band, which has sold more than a million albums and had five No. 1 singles, soon after high school and toured the world with the band as a young single. Now a wife and mother, she says the new project is a chance for her to connect more personally with listeners. 

Songs on the project include “Enough,” a song about trusting God when life isn’t going well; “Mirror, Mirror” speaks about the temporary things people chase after; and “What I Know” a tender piano ballad of praise to God. 

While some themes are universal, Brock—who goes by Tricia now—feels the new project may endear itself to some older listeners outside of Superchick’s main demographic. 

“Honestly, I’ve always felt like a big sister to our fans, being there to encourage them and let them know other people have felt the same things they are experiencing, and that they can make it through,” she said. “But now that I’m a wife, mom and working woman, I also have a whole new respect and understanding for a new group of people.”

Though the band allowed Brock to deliver positive messages to the teens-and-younger set, she’s also aware that feelings of insecurity and self-doubt follow them well into their adult years, emotions that she has also faced. 

“Even as an adult there are different areas that make me feel the same way I did in high school—that I’m not good enough, that I don’t measure up,” she said. “I have bad days where I feel easily discouraged, depressed and listen to the fear. But those moments in particular are the times where I have to hold on to my faith and to let my heart be convinced of the things that my mind knows.”

Making the new record also allowed Tricia the chance to collaborate with her husband, Nick Baumhardt (Stellar Kart). The duo wrote the album together, recorded it in their home studio, and Baumhardt served as producer.
