Artist:Natalie Grant
Song:In Better Hands
Album:Relentless
CCM singer songwriter Natalie Grant has had success since signing with Curb Records over twenty years ago. She won the Dove award for Female Vocalist of the Year four straight years and she has been nominated for eight Grammys. She was born Dec. 21, 1971 in Seatlle. She sang in church and she thought her musical talent was only to be shared with her local church. She changed her mind while studying to be a teacher at Northwest University in Kirkland, WA. She joined the Christian group Truth which was more of a travelling road show. Natalie moved to Nashville and signed with Benson Records in 1997. She released the 1999 album Natalie Grant on Benson's Silverstone label. The album was produced by veteran CCM producer Brown Bannister. At this point, Natalie was not writing songs. It was around this time she met Canadian producer Bernie Herms. They married and he has produced all of Natalie's albums. She released her 2001 album Stronger on Pamplin. When they closed, Natalie signed with Curb and things have gone well since then. In Better Hands is from her 2008 album Relentless. In Better Hands reached #5 on the Christian charts. Relentless is available as a budget CD. Her albums have been consistent sellers in the CCM market. Though she wrote most of the songs on the album, In Better Hands was written by veteran Nashville songwriters Jim Daddario and Catt Gravitt. Both have written songs for country artists like Collin Raye and Jake Owen and CCM Artists. Natalie won the Dove award for Female Vocalist of the year from 2006-09 and again in 2012. She has been nominated for eight Grammy awards. Her latest album Seasons was released this year. It is mostly duets with Dolly Parton, Mary Mary, CeCe Winans, Tasha Cobbs Leonard and others. CCM fans should eat it up. Here's the video for In Better Hands by Natalie Grant.
