Editor's note

Francesca Battistelli, a Christian pop voice from New York

Her 2008 debut 'My Paper Heart' and songs like 'Royalty' have shaped modern Christian radio.

For a sense of her style, 'Royalty' and 'Hundred More Years' frame her hopeful, radio-ready sound. They're good places to start if you're new to her work.

She broke through with 'I'm Letting Go' in 2008, a top 10 Christian hit that introduced her piano-driven pop to a wide audience. Tracks like 'Royalty' and 'The Breakup Song' have stayed in rotation, earning her six Dove Awards and two Grammy nods.

Born in New York in 1985, she moved to Florida as a teen and signed with Fervent Records in 2004. Her first album 'My Paper Heart' arrived in 2008, followed by steady releases like 'Own It' in 2018. She's navigated both acclaim and public scrutiny, including a 2013 controversy over remarks she later apologized for.
