Fervent Records recording artist and hit songwriter Francesca Battistelli was recently honored at a small gathering of label, industry partners, family and bandmates for her second RIAA-certified gold record for the Grammy Award winning and No. 1 single "Holy Spirit."
"What a special night! This song has been such an anchor in my own life, and I don't think we ever expected this, but the Lord's plans are always better than ours," Battistelli said. "To watch this song reach so many people has been such a blessing!"
"Holy Spirit," from Battistelli's album "If We're Honest," spent an impressive 15 weeks in the No. 1 slot at Christian radio and was the No. 2 most played song of 2015 at Christian AC radio.
Additionally, Battistelli took home her very first Grammy Award with "Holy Spirit" in the Best Contemporary Christian and Gospel Performance/Song category at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards. A few months later, she was awarded Worship Song of the Year at the K-LOVE Fan Awards.
Battistelli is currently off the road as she writes and records for an upcoming project and awaits the arrival of her fourth child.
