''Relentless'' is the sixth studio album by contemporary Christian music singer Natalie Grant. It was released on February 12, 2008, through Curb Records. Critical reception Andree Farias of AllMusic said "After surviving two label shutdowns and constant trial-and-error, the powerhouse vocalist finally hit it big with 2005's ''Awaken (Natalie Grant album), Awaken'', her best-selling fifth studio album.

For the first time, Grant was finally taking the reins of her career, forging a vision of her own, handling a larger share of the songwriting duties, and opting for a more mature, pop/rock-inflected adult contemporary sound.
