Fervent Records' soulful recording artist Dara Maclean debuts the music video for her new single, "Wanted," today on Myspace (Link here). Directed by Heidi Groff and shot over two days on the small Mexican island of Isla Mujeres, the video showcases Maclean touring the streets of the city and spending time with the local children. "Wanted" is produced by Paul Mabury (All Sons & Daughters, Meredith Andrews, Hillsong) and written by Justin Ebach, Mabury and Maclean.

'Wanted' is about a universal need, speaking to the child in all of us that is desperately longing just to hear somebody tell us we're wanted. Somebody to tell us that we're cherished and that we belong," explained Maclean. "To not be wanted based on your performance -- We all have those relationships in life where we are loved based on how good of a friend we are or how good of a daughter or son, sister or brother we are. It's conditional and it never seems to be enough. This song is calling out to the outcast and saying, 'You're not unlovable. You're never too far gone -- in your worst moment, in your loneliest moment, you are still wanted, just as much as the person that seemingly has it all together, is loved by everyone and looks to have this perfect life.' The baby that opens its eyes for the first time and the hardened criminal that gets sent to jail for the millionth time, does God want one more or less? We are all the same, we are all in need of Jesus and we are all desperately wanted by a Father that won't stop until He finds every child that is lost."

"Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me." (Psalms 139:7-10 New King James Version)

"I've been on the edge of my seat waiting to share with you my friends, the ones that have been such a support and on this journey with me, the heartbeat behind the song and ultimately, this record," continues Maclean. "My prayer is that every note reveals the heart of God the Father and that His Love does what it always does. It heals, restores and makes new again."
