Francesca Battistelli New Album Coming Out Soon?
Since her debut in 2008, Christian artist Francesca Battistelli has won over her fans with her amazing vocal talents and by winning multiple Dove Female Vocalist of the year awards.
The Christian singer released her last album Hundred More Years back in 2011 and has had much appraise for two of the singles featured on the album called " Motion of Mercy" and "This is the Stuff".
The Fervent Records artist has many different types of genres that play into her music. With a selection of hip-hop, R&B, gospel and a little bit of Jazz, the melody to her music has a soulful resonance. "I really longed to bring something authentic to the Christian scene that even non-Christians could listen to" stated Francesca on when she first began to write music.
Since two years have passed since her lastest album, Francesca has been busy promoting her record and touring.
Her latest headlining tour,"Hundred More Years", lasted March 1- May 5 with artists as The Afters, Kyle Sherman, and Love & The Outcome. Yet, right before she had went on tour Francesca surprised fans with a Deluxe edition of her Hundred More Years album with a new single called "Strangely Dim".
In 2011, Hundred More Years originally debuted at No.1 on the Christian SoundScan album chart and No. 16 on the Billboard 200 chart. Her newest deluxe edition will contain her Top 20 Hit single "Strangely Dim" which just so happened to be featured in the mini-series "The Bible", along with three other new single debuts. The deluxe edition contains the full original album with five new songs added to the track list.
New Release Tuesday stated, "Hundred More Years Deluxe Edition was easily the best album by a female artist I have heard in the Christian and mainstream music market since GRAMMY award winning artist Adele."
With critics and fans alike praising her music, Francesca will hopefully begin going to the studios to give us another great album soon.
