Francesca Battistelli on Her Return to Music, “He Will” & Life as a Mom of Seven
GRAMMY Award-winning artist Francesca Battistelli joinsBrandon Woolum to talk about her long-awaited return to music with the new single “He Will,” her first release in nearly eight years. Battistelli shares how the song was written during a season when she felt God calling her back to music, even though she couldn’t yet see how that calling would fit alongside her growing family.
Now a mom of seven, Francesca opens up about intentionally prioritizing motherhood, homeschooling and life at home, and why returning to music doesn’t mean returning to the same fast-paced career she once had. She also gives fans a preview of her upcoming project, revealing that the new music leans more toward worship and singer-songwriter influences and includes songs that have been waiting years to finally be heard.
Francesca also reflects on watching her catalog surpass 2 billion streams while she was away from releasing new music, connecting with a new generation of listeners through platforms like TikTok, and seeing songs including “Holy Spirit” and “Defender” continue to reach people.
She closes the conversation with an encouraging message for anyone waiting on God to move, reminding listeners that even when His answer doesn’t look the way we expect, He remains faithful. Francesca also offers encouragement to moms in the demanding seasons of parenting and homeschooling and shares a first look at what fans can expect from the new album, currently planned for spring.
