Just the Facts Album Review - Francesca Battistelli


Album: Francesca Battistelli - My Paper Heart

Style: Guitar driven pop

First Adjectives in My Mind: QUALITY - FUN - UPBEAT - HIT THE HIGHWAY & ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS

Voice - Forget the sweet syrupy cookie cutter voices that hit the airwaves - Francesca has a refreshing, real, earthy voice that a breath of fresh air. She has some slight country flair a la Susan Ashton.

TOP 5 Best Bet Downloads:
"Free to Be Me"
"Blue Sky"
"Unpredictable"
"Beautiful, Beautiful" - Can't get it out of my head (but in a good way)
"Forever Love" - Worshipful!

Songs to Skip: None

Bottom Line: Francesca has put out a fun and impressive debut that I will enjoy many times over. There's nothing earth-shattering or groundbreaking, but it's a great, enjoyable pick me up. Highly recommended!

Rich Mullins Song Lyrics of the Week

Week IV
"It's hard to be like Jesus."

Week III
"Saints and children we are gathered here, to hear the sacred story. And I'm glad to bring it to you with my best rhyming and rhythm. Cause I know the thirsty listen, down at the waters calm. And the Holy King of Israel loves me here in America"

Week II
"Talk about your miracles. Talk about your faith. My Dad he could make things grow out of Indiana clay. Mom could make a gourmet meal out of just corn bread and beans. And they worked to give faith hands and feet, and somehow gave it wings."


Week I
"The moon is a sliver of silver like the shaving that fell on the floor of a carpenter's shop. Every house must have its builder. I awoke in the house of God. "
