Deeper Life
''Deeper Life'' is the third studio album by Contemporary Christian music singer Natalie Grant. It was released on February 11, 2003, through Curb Records. The entire album lasts for about 49minutes of play time. Critical reception Jonathan Widran of AllMusic said "It's too early in her career to know whether this powerhouse singer/songwriter will ever reach the heights of Contemporary Christian Music's other Grant, but a bevy of top producers come on board this sparkling debut to launch Natalie Grant towards this goal. All of these studio wizards (Eric Foster White, Tommy Sims, and Michael Lloyd) are better-known for their secular pop music, and the variety of atmospheres they create poise Grant for crossover pop success. It also helps that the lyrics Grant sings are designed as inspirational, rather than preachy. Torchy tracks like 'I Am Not Alone' and rock-driven anthems like 'I Will Be' could definitely lead both teenagers looking for substance, and adult contemporary audience ...

Awaken (Natalie Grant Album)
''Awaken'' is the fourth studio album by contemporary Christian music singer Natalie Grant. It was released on March 22, 2005, by Curb Records. Critical reception ''AllMusic''s Johnny Loftus claimed, "Though strong, the melodies on Awaken sometimes feel recycled, and its manicured instrumentation lessens the power of Grant's singing voice. But the album is still a capable blend of Christian themes with mainstream pop texture, meaning it deserves the same accolades ''Deeper Life'' received." David McCreary of '' CCM'' said, "Confession time: As soon as I was assigned to review Natalie Grant's new CD, a not-so-flattering, preconceived notion came to mind. Isn't she just another generic-sounding pop diva? But after just one spin of her aptly titled ''Awaken'' disc, that thought was quickly relegated to 'oh-so-mistaken' status. Following an eye-opening overseas journey and a recent time of spiritual introspection, Grant now releases her most poignant and intimately reflective proje ...

Stronger (Natalie Grant Album)
''Stronger'' is the second studio album by Contemporary Christian music singer Natalie Grant. It was released on June 12, 2001, through Pamplin Records, and was re-released on February 26, 2002, through Curb Records. Critical reception Bradley Torreano of AllMusic claimed "Natalie Grant's ''Stronger'' is one of the rarest treasures in Christian music: an original album that has a distinct voice and style. With so many CCM pop stars making decent but faceless music, it is a relief to see that there are still albums like this floating around. With a powerhouse voice and top-notch songwriters, Grant brings to mind a wholesome Britney Spears at some points and a spiritual Faith Hill at others. In fact, it is pretty weird to hear what would ordinarily be typical radio pop filled with lyrics about Christian topics and ideologies. But it works; in fact, it works very well. This is one of the freshest approaches to this genre in quite a while, bringing to mind Amy Grant's groundbreaking ...
