Natalie Grant Prepares For 'Hurricane' Album Following Martin Luther King Tribute

Sep 06 2013

Grammy-nominated, five-time Dove Award winning Female Artist of the Year Natalie Grant will release her highly anticipated new album, 'Hurricane' on 15th October 2013. The album's title track and lead single has already hit number one on iTunes, making it the fastest rising single of her career.

"I've journeyed through a lot over the past three years," says Grant. "This record is full of my stories and is a reminder that no matter how dark the struggle may seem, I am not alone. And through writing these songs, I've been reminded that hope always wins."

With award winning husband/producer Bernie Herms at the helm of her latest musical endeavor, Grant poured her heart into this record and wrote on eight out of the 10 tracks.

Based on her own real-life experiences, Grant voiced, for the first time, her struggle with post-partum depression after the birth of her third child, her feelings of inadequacy when it comes to parenting; her feelings of guilt over the ceaseless balance of work, family, motherhood and faith.

"This record is full of music that is positive and bright, both musically and lyrically, which is almost the antitheses to how I have felt for the last few years, but it is the result of hope and faith", Grant continues. "Even when everything seems dark, my faith keeps the light on. I feel these songs help me to tell that truth in a fresh way."

2013 has already proven to be an exciting year for Grant. She visited The White House for a special guest performance for President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, among others. Natalie Grant also had the privilege last month of singing at the 50th anniversary celebration of the March on Washington and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic "I Have a Dream" speech (see video, right).
