Story behind "All This Time"

The story behind "All This Time" was posted on Britt's site December 21. Take some time to read the whole thing. It makes the song much more meaningful! 

In preparation for the release of Britt's new album this spring, her first single "All This Time" will impact radio starting early January 2012.

Britt's story behind the song:

"All This Time is my salvation story.  It is the story of how I met
Jesus, and a reminder that whatever we face in life, we don't have to
face it alone because Jesus promised to never leave us or forsake us.

Here is a glimpse at my story and I hope one day I can hear yours.

When I was seven years old my parents were going through a divorce. I
remember running to my room with tears running down my face and opening
my big, pink, Precious Moments Bible (I know some of y'all had one of
those too!  haha).  I grew up hearing my grandpa preach about Jesus and
in that moment I needed Him to rescue me. With barely any words I cried
out to Jesus and right away I felt His presence fill my bedroom.  I knew
that He was real; I knew that He was with me and that He would never
leave.

Ever since that day there has never been a moment that I have walked
alone. Jesus has walked with me through the good and the bad. He is a
loyal and faithful God; the God who sees our heartache and knows that
the picture is much bigger than what we can see. He restores our
brokenness and redeems what we thought could never be redeemed.

But, this isn't just about my story, it's about yours. Your story
will reach people that I could never reach. Your story could be the
beginning of someone else's. So I encourage you to tell your story. No
matter how painful, how dark, how broken it may be, let people know that
our God rescues, saves, and restores and turns our pain into something
beautiful.

Together our stories will change the world and people will know that
God is real not because of the mere facts, but because we have
experienced Him.  I once heard a writer say, "Facts stay lodged in the
mind, but stories speak to the heart." Stories disarm the heart. No one
can argue with your story. It is real, it is powerful, and it is life
changing.

When someone asks me why I believe, I simply say, I believe in Jesus
not because someone told me to or because it was the right thing to do,
but because I met Him when I was just a little girl and He has been my
best friend and Father since. He saved me from a broken life and gave me
something to sing about. He restored my darkest moments and I know what
the enemy meant for bad, Jesus will turn for good.

It's not always easy to see in the moment, but if you take a second
to stop and look back over your life, you can see how God has always
been there watching over you, protecting you, and guiding you all the
way up until this very morning. From the first tear cried till today's
sunrise, He's been walking with you and with me, All This Time. "  

New Single: All This Time

Hey BrittNicoleFans! We've all been waiting for new music from Britt! Here it is! The song is called "All This Time". The song will be released in early January, but there are a few radio stations that are playing it now. You can hear the song on NGEN radio and Joy! FM 

New album: Britt's announcement

Hey Britt Nicole Fans! Britt just announced on twitter that she will be releasing the new album this spring. Check it out! 

Britt Nicole Interview with NGEN radio

Just found another recent interview with Britt! In this interview she gives us a little more information on the new album (information that we're all itching to hear!). I know that we haven't heard a lot form Britt in the past few months, so it was really awesome to find this interview! I hope that you all enjoy! 

"North Carolina native artist Britt Nicole first made her presence known in 2007 with her debut album, Say It.  Her songs have been featured in numerous films and video games including Like A Star and Set The World On Fire can be heard in major motion picture, Soul Surfer. Her sophomore project, The Lost Get Found, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart.  The album’s title track rocketed to No. 1 on the Radio & Records CHR chart, spending eight consecutive weeks in the top position.  I spoke with Britt while she was on a bus in Nashville on the first day of the Leaving Eden Tour with Brandon Heath.

Q: I saw on your Twitter that you set your hair on fire?
A: I sure did.  I’m ok with being made fun of, so I thought I might as well share with the world!  I leaned over my candle on my nightstand and I heard it sizzle!  It was dark so I couldn’t tell if it was a big section of hair or not, but I was so tired I thought I would figure it out in the morning and just went to sleep.  I’ve got a lot of hair so it’s easy to cover it up!

Q: Who do you like to follow on Twitter?
A: I follow a lot of my friends.  They aren’t famous so nobody will know who they are.

Q: You have a chance to make them famous right now!
A: I follow my friend, Tiffany, she is from Hawaii.

Q: Tiffany Thurston is famous!  She sings for Natalie Grant!
A: Ok, I guess she is famous!  She always has really encouraging tweets and she is funny, too.  I also like to follow Reverend Run from RunDMC.  He posts a lot of scriptures and good, inspiring thoughts.  When Twitter for came out I didn’t like it.  I was more into the Myspace and Facebook, until I finally gave in and got an account, then I was hooked!

Q: How is the new album coming along?
A: I’m a perfectionist, so it’s going a little slower than planned, but we are still aiming to release it in the Spring of next year.  I’ve got about four songs recorded right now, but I’m still writing new ones.  I have about 50 new songs to choose from.  I could just take 10 and knock it out fast, but I want to make sure we are picking the best.  I’m trying to work with other songwriters more as well.  I have a lot of friends that are songwriters, so why not write with your friends?

Q: What is your favorite thing about fall?
A: I love everything about fall!  I’m looking out the bus window right now at the beautiful colors of the leaves in Tennessee.  I love pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin candles, scarves and the food!  I don’t know that it’s my favorite season, but it’s at least in the top four!

Q: This bus you are on is part of the Leaving Eden Tour with your buddy, Brandon Heath.  How is it going so far?
A: It just started, with 40 cities ahead of us, but we are really excited to be doing this together.  We love getting in front of crowds to sing these songs and to minister to people.  Coming to the Woodlands is going to be one of the highlights I’m sure!  Right now, Brandon is up in the front of the bus doing phone interviews, while I’m in the back.  We have 13 people on the bus so I was making calls in the floor of the shower because there wasn’t any room anywhere to sit!  But Brandon found me in there and let me sit in the back lounge.  He’s so hospitable!

A Lot of Updates

             

           Alright, I’m going to attempt to get all of this in one post! A lot of things have happened since the announcement of Britt’s songs in Soul Surfer! I received the answers to the questions you all asked Britt. Click Here to see the questions and answers!

            I twittered Bethany Hamilton (The girl that Soul Surfer is made after) asking her what songs of Britt’s will be in the movie. She replied saying this:

          @brittnicolefans - @itsbrittnicole's songs "Like a Star" and "Set the World on Fire" will be heard in @SoulSurferMovie!! Go see it on Apr 8!

I hope you all are planning ahead to see this movie! I am!

            One more announcement! Britt Nicole has been nominated for a Dove Award! Her manager posted on twitter that she was delighted to learn that she was nominated! Alongside Britt are the other nominees for Female Vocalist of the Year which are Audrey Assad, Francesca Battistelli, Natalie Grant, Janet Paschal,  Kerrie Roberts, and Laura Story. I’ll be trying to get more information on how we (BrittNicoleFans) can help her win that award! Keep checking back for updates on that!

Soul Surfer

     When Bethany Hamilton was 13 years old she had her left arm ripped off just right below her shoulder by a 15 ft tiger shark while she was surfing along Tunnels Beach, Kauai. After recovery in the hospital she was determined to start surfing again. Her story has encouraged many people to keep on going, even when it gets tough.

     You might be asking.... what does this have to do with Britt Nicole? Well, on April 8th, 2011 the story of Bethany Hamilton will be released in theaters! And guess who's songs will be in the movie. Britt's! Some of the cast member in the movie include AnnaSophia Robb as Bethany Hamilton, Dennis Quaid as Tom Hamilton, Helen Hunt as Cheri Hamilton and Carrie Underwood as Sarah Hill. Bethany tweeted Britt on February 11th about being excited that her songs were in the movie. I'm looking forward to the movie! Keep checking back, I'm going to try to find out what songs of Britt's are going to be in the movie! (I'm guessing Walk on the Water might be one of them!)
