Francesca Battistelli’s third studio album, If We’re Honest, came out on April 22. It features her current Top 5 single “Write Your Story” which she performed February 13 on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” It is her most personal and accomplished musical statement yet. I love hearing Write Your Story on the local Christian radio, plus I loved her first album, so I knew I wanted to share this new album with you all!

Produced by GRAMMY®-nominated and Dove Award-winning producer and Battistelli’s longtime collaborator Ian Eskelin, If We’re Honest reveals her most intimate and accomplished musical statement yet and showcases her trademark pop and soul-infused sound. The deluxe version of her If We’re Honest is currently available on iTunes. It features four bonus tracks – “Holy Spirit,” “Keeping Score,” “I Am Home” and “Tonight (Feat. All Sons & Daughters)” – and instant downloads of “Write Your Story,” “When The Crazy Kicks In” and “He Knows My Name.”
The second song on the album, “When The Crazy Kicks In” – is my anthem right now. Upbeat and fun, and so my life. It is hard to get quiet moments alone with God. Young kids demand your attention at all times, don’t they? I feel like I am never going to catch up on the endless list of things to do. It is honestly, crazy!
