Ellen Hayes Announces Farewell Album 'Behind My Eyes'

TOULOUSE, France - EntSun -- Award-winning national gospel recording artist, songwriter, producer, arranger, and choir director Ellen Hayes proudly announces the release of her highly anticipated farewell album, Behind My Eyes—a deeply personal collection of music that reflects a lifetime of faith, perseverance, worship, and God's unfailing grace.

For more than five decades, Hayes has devoted her life to ministry through music. From directing choirs and developing vocalists to writing, producing, and arranging songs that have inspired audiences around the world, she has faithfully answered God's call. Behind My Eyes serves as the musical testimony of everything she has seen, endured, celebrated, and overcome.

"This album is more than a collection of songs," says Hayes. "It is my testimony. Every lyric tells a story of God's faithfulness through seasons of joy, heartbreak, victories, disappointments, and unwavering hope. These are the things people don't always see—behind my eyes."

The album features a rich blend of musical styles that have shaped Hayes' career, including traditional gospel, contemporary gospel, hymns, soul-infused worship, and inspirational originals. Listeners will experience heartfelt renditions of timeless hymns such as Precious Lord and The Old Account, along with a moving interpretation of Thank You Lord, made famous by the late Walter Hawkins. The project also showcases powerful original compositions written by Hayes herself, including the uplifting single Count Your Blessings, which encourages listeners to focus on God's goodness regardless of life's challenges.

Although Behind My Eyes marks Hayes' final full-length album, she emphasizes that this is not the end of her musical ministry.
