Hundred More Years

Hundred More Years

March 1, 2011

Top tracks: “This Is the Stuff,” “Hundred More Years,” “Don’t Miss It”

Positively charged pop music has its time and place, specifically on major network reality shows and mainstream radio. Battistelli has already seen plenty of time in both, bolstered by a Grammy nomination for Best Gospel Performance and a couple Dove awards. Her latest album is as poppy as her 2008 debut, My Paper Heart, with a little bit of modern country flare. It’s appropriate music for sunny days and chipper attitudes. Even in the songs about dealing with hard times, she sings a hopeful melody, “Open your window, let the light shine in / This is life, don’t miss it.”
