Britt Nicole strikes gold

Britt Nicole is one of the most respected female Christian vocalists around and her new album, Gold, is living up to that reputation.

This North Carolina gal cemented her place on the CCM scene with her debut Sparrow Records debut, Say It, back in 2007.

Since then she has continued to deliver high quality worship aimed at helping people find God and change their lives.

The Sparrow Records artist has not surprisingly been dubbed as Christian music's "Queen of Pop".

Her third album was produced by Dan Muckala, David Garcia, Christopher Stephens and Josh Crosby, and features a collaboration with Lecrae on the track "Ready or Not".

It's not only critics who are positive about the release, fans are loving it too. The album hit the top spot on the Soundscan and iTunes Christian and Gospel album charts, and ranked no 41 in the Billboard 200.
