I love upbeat, snappy music and I fell in love with this album right away. Britt’s voice is beautiful and the music itself draws you in. I think we’ll be hearing a lot more from this new artist! ~ Jill

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (May 9, 2007) – Up and coming recording artist Britt Nicole will release her highly-anticipated debut project, Say It, on May 22, 2007 through Sparrow Records/EMI CMG Distribution.
The first single, “You,” from Say It recently debuted at #30 on R&R’s AC Monitored chart and has already hit # 17 on R&R’s CHR chart and #22 on CRW’s CHR chart.
Through her upcoming release, on which all songs were written or co-written by Britt, the newly-signed Sparrow artist reveals her heart for this generation as it resonates on the album with her edgy sound and timeless message. “Say It is basically my answer to God’s call to be real and share who I am with others - imperfections and all,” says Britt.
Say It features a fresh, high-energy blend of hip-hop, reggae, pop and rock mixed with Britt’s impeccable vocals and compelling lyrics. From the upbeat tunes, “Holiday” or “Good Day,“ which uncover Britt’s energetic side and breath of fresh air message, to the deep and challenging lyrics of “Set The World On Fire” and “When She Cries,” Say It boasts an impressive, solid musical and lyrical quality.
“We are incredibly excited to have Britt Nicole as a part of the Sparrow Records family,” states Peter York, president, EMI CMG Label Group. “With her depth of ministry, heart for young people and through her own life experiences, Britt has a great deal to say. We’re honored as her label family, to be the vehicle to help communicate her message through this amazing new project. I believe Say It will be a welcomed addition to many record collections and iPods as fans embrace her unique brand of pop music. We have high goals for Britt and her career, as we’ve already seen the impact her music is having in America and around the world.”
Co-produced by Double Dutch (Josiah Bell & Robert Marvin) and Tedd T, Say It features 11-tracks that are packed with Natasha Bedingfield and Gwen Stefani-like anthems brought to life by Britt’s satisfyingly soulful vocals.
The first radio single, “You,” which is quickly climbing multiple radio charts with its catchy-unforgettable melody, encourages listeners to look no further than to God for all their needs.
With precise craftsmanship and a mature depth, Britt, who regularly works with her own church youth group, tackles issues plaguing this generation, such as divorce and insecurity; giving her listeners a deep yet fresh perspective on life. “It’s about different issues…it’s about writing things that really mean something to me, many from personal experience, in order to bring hope and change to others in their own lives,” Britt said.
In addition to her upcoming release, Britt was recently a featured artist on the 2007 WinterJam Tour, sharing the stage with a number of highly respected Christian artists such as Jeremy Camp, Hawk Nelson, Sanctus Real, Newsong, and Steven Curtis Chapman. The tour garnered a strong audience response and a great deal of attention from fans being drawn quickly to Britt and songs from the new project.
A sneak-peak preview of Britt’s song “Indestructible” can also be heard on the WOW Next 2007CD, available at Christian bookstores nationwide.
