Amy Grant celebrates motherhood with new four-song EP

|PIC1|Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter, philanthropist and mother, Amy Grant will release her first new, non-Christmas music in five years with the release of the She Colors My Day EP exclusively on iTunes on May 5.

Grant will debut two new songs for Mother's Day: "She Colors My Day", a fun pop-song about a mother's love for her daughter, and the beautiful soul-stirring "Unafraid" which is a tribute to Amy's own mother.

Released to coincide with Mother's Day in the US on May 10, the 4-song EP also includes classic Grant hits "Baby Baby" and "Oh, How The Years Go By". The colorful music video for "She Colors My Day" will have an exclusive Amazon.com debut on May 12.

"I'm so glad to be releasing some new music," says Grant. "I've been working on a lot of new material and two of the new songs seemed to fit perfectly for a special Mother's Day release. ‘Unafraid' is motherhood from every angle - partner, parent, caregiver - a perspective that every 40-something mum knows all too well. And ‘She Colors My Day' makes me smile thinking of how my own daughters brighten up my life."

Amy Grant and songwriters Cristina Carlino (philosophy founder and creator) & Stuart Mathis are donating all artist and publishing royalties generated by the sale of the song "She Colors My Day" to the Entertainment Industry Foundation's Women's' Cancer Research Fund.

Alongside Grant's EP, the skin care brand Philosophy is partnering with online photo and artwork company Snapfish to create personalised books for Mother's Day. For each book that is created, Snapfish will donate 50 per cent of the net proceeds to the "She Colors My Day" project, a Philosophy non-profit initiative to assist in raising funds to create a cure for breast cancer. Philosophy is also releasing a bubble bath in honour of the charity.
