Battistelli’s Music Offers Hope And Encouragement For All Ages; First Single, “I'm Letting Go,” Already Impacting All Radio Formats
Fervent Records is proud to announce the CD release from new artist Francesca Battistelli, a talented singer/songwriter who has been ready to share her adventurous musical talents since she was just six years old. Her major label debut, My Paper Heart, releases July 22nd, 2008 (Word Distribution).
It was inevitable for Francesca Battistelli to pursue a musical career, being born to parents with an extensive theater background – they met when her dad was the assistant conductor for the traveling production of “The King and I”; her mom played the part of Anna, the show’s female lead (alongside Yul Brynner as the King). And then, at just six years old, Battistelli was inspired after catching “The Secret Garden” on Broadway. Feeling a musical calling, she explains, “There was just something about live theater—especially musical theater—that has always resonated with me.”
From her parents’ experiences and her younger years of dance lessons and theater training, she knew her own path in the competitive arts world wasn’t going to be easy. Battistelli developed an insatiable work ethic, helping to pave the way for who she is today.
With a passion for writing and performing music, from being inspired by everyone from jazz greats her dad introduced her to as a child to strong singer/songwriter contemporaries like John Mayer, Sara Bareilles and Nichole Nordeman, she crafted what’s now her debut with Fervent Records. Produced by Ian Eskelin (Dove Award winner, Producer of the Year 2008), Battistelli’s soulful sound of fusing pop, jazz, rock, gospel, and R&B, with lyrics full of encouraging and personal reflections on life and faith is bound to resonate with people of all ages.
The first single, “I’m Letting Go,” displays Battistelli’s encouragement to others to not settle for anything less than what God has planned for them, has already garnered the ears of radio stations nationwide with advanced adds on every format from CHR to AC to Inspo.
