Gospel music can touch people's hearts, but there are other times when you hear a song like Eylsia Nicolas' "The Fire in My Eyes," and the heart is set on fire. The music is rooted in times in the singer's life when they were knocked down over and over again, only to discover a strength they didn't know was there.

Nicolas' writing conveys the emotional strength of faith and determination, delivering a message to you that is impactful and empowering. Each note and inflection in her voice feels authentic to the moment, making it feel less like a song and more like a story from one person to another. The theme of finding strength during trying times is universal, and Nicolas ensures all its meaning lands.

The song's pull is magnified in the context of Nicolas' personal history. She's an embodiment of the hard work and creativity she celebrates in her music. She has saved nearly 600 pages of a book and spoken about the potential to turn it into a movie. The spirit of endurance and aspiration that powers "The Fire in My Eyes" is evident in her work beyond music, including her groundbreaking patent.

This release makes Nicolas a storyteller whose reach extends far beyond genre. The song becomes a lighthouse for the heart to guide people back through the darkness where we first find ourselves and, once again, have faith. In "The Fire in My Eyes," she shares that strength is often found in the midst of hard times and that courage is about how powerfully we rise after falling.
