Amy Grant’s “Stellar” and “Transparent” Album, How Mercy Looks From Here, Debuts at No. 1

Amy Grant’s “Stellar” and “Transparent” Album,  How Mercy Looks From Here, Debuts at No. 1On the heels of receiving some of the best reviews of her 30+ year career, six time GRAMMY® winner Amy Grant has even more to celebrate as her first full length album in 10 years, How Mercy Looks From Here, has garnered her a No. 1 debut on Christian SoundScan and a No. 12 debut on the Billboard 200, scanning over 26,000 units.

“Amy Grant has delivered a beautiful record of compelling songs that document her life experiences over the past decade since her last studio record,” remarked Peter York President, Capitol CMG Label Group. “It’s an authentic album of songs she’s written that allow the listener to peer deeply into her heart and connect emotionally with her journey. It must be heard to be appreciated and I would encourage all to taste and see.”

Following an extensive press and radio tour last week that included CBS This Morning, NPR’s Weekend Edition, People.com, Morning Joe on MSNBC, WOR Radio with Rita Cosby, FUSE NEWS and more, Grant will make tour stops in the UK starting May 25, with previously filmed interviews airing next week on Lifetime TV shows “The Balancing Act” (5/28) and “Hollywood Watch” (5/31). Additionally, Grant is also scheduled to appear on the popular ABC daytime shows The View (6/20) and The Chew (7/19), while more critical acclaim for the project continues to roll in:

“Few singers probe issues of the spirit and of the heart with the warmth and intimacy of Amy Grant.….With a voice as organic and comforting as a wool sweater, Grant shows maturity by relying on her voice’s amber tones and subtle phrasing without showing off or pushing any edges…..however we look at time, we should make the best of this moment – which is what Grant does on How Mercy Looks From Here.” -Associated Press

“Amy Grant is like fine wine and the veteran songstress only gets better with age as it is evident in this stellar collection of songs. It is definitely one of the best albums that came out in 2013. Amy conveys a wide spectrum of emotions in How Mercy Looks From Here. Her vocals are warm, deep, moving and captivating.” -Digital Journal

“Wisdom and life experience ring loud and clear in this body of work….transparent and intentional, with an understanding of universal brokenness healed only through the grace and mercy of the blood of Jesus. No filler here. These songs are the breath of her life.” -Worship Leader
