After 8 years, Francesca Battistelli is making her return with NEW MUSIC.

Her brand-new song, “He Will,” is available today. “He Will” is an uplifting anthem about trusting God, even when you don’t know how He’s going to come through. Backed by a choir, Francesca sings about needing God’s rescue and being confident that He will be faithful.

The song also marks the beginning of what Battistelli says is a new wave of music.

As I said, it’s been eight years since Francesca released her last album, Own It, in 2018. During that time, she stepped away from the spotlight to focus on her growing family. She’s now a mom of seven and has embraced a quieter season of motherhood, including homeschooling and homesteading.

But even while she was away from the music scene, Francesca’s songs continued making an impact. She earned another number-one radio hit, bringing her career total to eight, and her catalog has now surpassed 2 billion career streams.

Francesca says that during her time away, God continued giving her new songs—and she believes the timing is finally right to share them.

“He Will” is the first glimpse of what’s next.

CAIN is bringing their Live and In Worship Tour to Grove City, Ohio, this fall, with special guest Jenn Johnson!

The concert is happening Thursday, September 17th, at The Naz Church in Grove City. It’s a night designed to give you space to come as you are, be refreshed, and experience the presence of God through powerful music and intentional worship.

The evening kicks off at 7 PM, with general admission doors opening at 6.

And if you know anything about CAIN, you know they’re not afraid of a little color! Their bright colors and energetic personalities are a big part of what makes them so much fun.

Well, they want you to join in on the fun, too! So when you come to the concert, make sure you wear RED in honor of the Buckeye State!

Lord, I am so thankful for the ways that You blessed me
Everything You say making waves like a jet ski
You love every part of me, even when I was messy
Now I see the art in Your beauty
So, I can finally sing out…
