Nashville, TN - (February 5, 2013) - 2011 Dove Awards' "Artist of the Year," Francesca Battistelli, released her brand new single, "Strangely Dim," from her Hundred More Years Deluxe Edition album today to iTunes.

The full album, featuring "Strangely Dim" and four additional new songs, will be made available for purchase on March 12.

Produced by Ian Eskelin and Seth Mosely, "Strangely Dim" has already made a huge splash at radio with 47 first week radio adds. "I love this song because it reminds me daily that God is the source of my peace, and even when things are chaotic all around me, He is in control," commented Battistelli.
