NEW YORK, July 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Amy Grant's first pop album in six years, Simple Things (A&M Records), released August 19, 2003, is ... the most intimate album of her extraordinary career. Simple Things reflects many of the life changes that Grant went through during the three-year process of writing and recording the project. Reconciliation, forgiveness, and love are themes woven throughout the project. Playful, impassioned and ultimately triumphant, Simple Things is simply Amy Grant at her best.

By becoming the first Christian artist to have a platinum record, Amy Grant is widely regarded as the artist who put contemporary Christian music on the map. Yet perhaps her greatest accomplishment was to open the door for a flood of other artists in pop as well as rock to sing about faith, soul and family and still grasp mega-stardom.
