Where's Francesca Battistelli?

Audio By Carbonatix

The past few years have been a whirlwind for Francesca Battistelli.  Three albums have produced impressive recognition for the singer – a GRAMMY® Award nomination and six Dove Awards.

After releasing massively popular songs like “Write Your Story”, “He Knows My Name”, “Holy Spirit” and “If We’re Honest”, the singer/songwriter has recently taken a very sudden hiatus from the music scene.  In fact, when so many Christian music artists are gearing up for busy touring over the summer, Francesca has finished up her LAST performance for a while.

So what’s going on?

One glimpse at her blog lets us know that all is well with Francesca – INCREDIBLY well in fact! 

In April we played our last show of the year. I don't think I've ever played my last show of the year in the spring! We also found out a couple of weeks ago that we're having another BOY!!! Ahhh, it so exciting to be adding to our family, and I know that Isaac and this little guy are going to be best buds. Can't wait.
It was so much fun gathering the band and team one last time before baby comes in September.

So summer 2017 is waiting for baby time.  What else?

School is almost out, which means pool time, beach time, popsicles every day, and just all the glorious things that come with no schedules! I haven't had a summer this free in years, and we plan to soak it up.  Having time off the road means writing more songs, writing more blogs, cooking more meals, and diving into other passions

In earlier blogs, Francesca indicated she was also doing songwriting for album #4.  Seems like a full busy family with a baby on the way is fertile ground from which to write songs.  We’ll look forward to hearing the new music and seeing lots of family photos!
