"I've journeyed through a lot over the past three years," says Grant. "This record is full of my stories and is a reminder that no matter how dark the struggle may seem, I am not alone. And through writing these songs, I've been reminded that hope always wins."

Hurricane is a project that is woven together by songs that offer listeners a greater sense of hope, peace, and encouragement. With award winning husband/producer Bernie Herms at the helm of her latest musical endeavor, Grant poured her heart into this record and wrote on eight out of the 10 tracks. Based on her own real-life experiences , Grant voiced, for the first time, her struggle with post-partum depression after the birth of her third child, her feelings of inadequacy when it comes to parenting; her feelings of guilt over the ceaseless balance of work, family, motherhood and faith.

"This record is full of music that is positive and bright, both musically and lyrically, which is almost the antitheses to how I have felt for the last few years, but it is the result of hope and faith", Grant continues. "Even when everything seems dark, my faith keeps the light on. I feel these songs help me to tell that truth in a fresh way."

As a follow up to her successful Love Revolution, Grant's honesty and vulnerability prove to be a welcomed force amidst today's challenging times. But, it's not only the emotional connection that appeals to fans, worldwide. Natalie's overwhelming success is grounded in her abilities as a powerhouse vocalist, a heart-gripping songwriter and a charismatic performer. A few of her recent hits include "Your Great Name," and Grammy-nominated "Alive."

In the wake of the instant connectivity of "Hurricane" at radio, Grant continues to prove her relevance and strong fan support through social media, as she maintains the highest level of actual fan engagement in her genre on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

In gearing up for the project's release, the latest reports show that "Hurricane" continues to rapidly climb the radio charts, with another triple digit spin gain this week.

In addition to the exploding success of her artistry, Grant is an outspoken advocate for victims of human trafficking. In 2005, she founded the organization Abolition International which is committed to providing quality restorative aftercare to trafficking victims both domestically and internationally.

2013 has already proven to be an exciting year for Grant. Partnering with long-time friend and international speaker and author Charlotte Gambill, Grant co-created and launched Dare To Be, a revolutionary women's live event that drew tens of thousands of attendees across the nation. In addition, Grant visited The White House for a special guest performance for President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, among others.

Fans can also look for Grant as she takes on a supporting role in the 2014 film "Persecuted." Produced by Gray Frederickson, an Oscar-winning producer who helped make "The Godfather" and "Apocalypse Now" and Directed by Daniel Lusko, Grant will co-star alongside James Remar, Bruce Davison, and Fred Thompson.
