Louder Than The Music

Francesca Battistelli released her new album 'Hundred More Years' this week. The album, which is available now on both the US iTunes and UK iTunes stores, comes on the heels of Battistelli scoring four nominations including the prestigious Artist Of The Year for the upcoming 42nd annual Dove Awards, making her the most nominated Female Artist this year.

"This year has been such a blessed one so far," said Battistelli. "I'm out on the Winter Jam Tour with David Crowder Band and Newsboys, just found out that I've broken the Top 5 with the new single 'This Is The Stuff', and today I'm releasing my sophomore album across the country. To top it off, being nominated for the Dove Awards' Artist Of The Year is an incredible honor and I feel deeply humbled to be in a category with so many amazing artists. I want to thank all of the Christian radio stations and fans that believe in me."

'Hundred More Years' is the follow up to Francesca's debut release 'My Paper Heart'. Working with producer Ian Eskelin (All Star United), she has crafted a CD that is every bit as hooky and infectious as its predecessor but whose subject matter, as befitting a young woman whose life has changed so dramatically, addresses a wider spectrum of the human experience.
