GRAMMY Nominated Border | Word Entertainment Recording Artist, Natalie Grantreached a major milestone in his two-decade career. With the release of his tenth studio album, No Stranger, Grant released the biggest album of his career with 33,144 units sold (twice the amount of any of his previous debut albums) and a position in the Top 15 Billboard 200, entering at number 13.
After more than 20 years, 10 albums and a five-year gap since her last full-length, No Stranger is the most significant LP of her career to date. In the midst of being a busy and committed mother of three daughters ages 13 and under, an involved wife to the GRAMMY-winning songwriter/producer Bernie Hermsa leader of the international nonprofit Hope for Justice, partner of Charlotte Gambill in women’s events Dare to Be, co-host of a weekly podcast, songwriter, and active recording and touring artist, Grant has found it in herself to deliver her biggest and most sought-after album to date.
“I’m grateful for an incredible team that worked so hard on this release,” says Grant. “After 20 years of doing this, having the biggest album launch of my career is as much their accomplishment as it is mine. As a female artist who’s been doing this for two decades, I’ve never lost the wonder of continuing to do what I love. And in a season like the one we’re in, I’m more grateful than ever to be creating music that connects with people on such a deep level.”
Critical acclaim quickly poured in for the 10-song set. Worship Leader Magazine said, “…the soundscape seems perfectly suited to match the lyrical content with the breathtaking London Symphony as the backdrop to Grant’s raw yet dynamic and captivating vocals.” NewReleaseToday added, “. . . the soulful vocals, prayerful lyrics and musical arrangements are breathtaking. . . ”
“These songs were born out of an awakening to God’s presence in my everyday life, and this project was created in the hopes that we would capture that experience not only lyrically, but also sonically,” shares Grant of No Stranger. “I’ve always known in theory that God is with us, but I’ve experienced that reality in such a personal way over the last few years; and I’ve never known a time in my life where the world has been more desperate to know that He is with us than this moment.”
The lush and timely collection features Grant’s current radio single, “Face to Face,” as well as his Dove-nominated collaboration with Steven Malcolm, “Even Louder,” and the worship anthem “My Weapon.” Additionally, for No Stranger, Grant has chosen to put his powerful vocal imprint on the hit Casting Crowns“Praise You in This Storm,” which Herms originally wrote with the frontman Casting CrownsMark Hall. Recently, Curb | Word released a cinematic music video – also starring her husband – for her stunning version of the track. Check out the visual HERE.
