If I Had One Chance To Tell You Something, the much anticipated new studio album from Grammy and Dove Award winner Rebecca St. James holds the promise of giving radio, listeners, and retail much to be thankful for as it releases on November 22nd.
The album, the first completely new studio project from St. James in four years, blends a marked return to her rock origins with an epic overlay of pop sonics and self written material that lends itself to painting her most revealing musical self portrait to date. Her overriding message with the new music focuses on the raw urgency of life and her own vulnerability and dependence on God—lessons torn not only from today’s headlines but from a recent journey of deep spiritual self discovery for the Australian born singer.
Rebecca credits much of the inspiration for the new music to a retreat she took late in 2004 to L’Abri, a study center situated high in the Swiss Alps that was founded by theologian/philosopher Francis Shaeffer. “My month there was inspiring and I think there’s a feeling on this new album of depth and vulnerability and hope; themes that came largely from this experience and the fresh season that this time helped me walk into.”
The 12 song CD offers creative input from three of the industry’s most currently and consistently hit productive producers: Tedd T, (who has a strong history on past hit projects with St. James), Shaun Shankel (Hiliary Duff, Kimberley Locke, Natalie Grant) and Matt Bronleewe (Plumb, Natalie Imbruglia, Jars of Clay). All but one of the songs bears Rebecca’s imprint as a writer.
The first single from the album, Alive, is currently proving to be St. James’ fastest climbing single to date, impacting national singles charts in both Christian CHR and AC formats. In support of her new music, St. James will launch a tour in February with BarlowGirl. Stay tuned to YMZ for concert announcements.
For a limited time, the album will be available at Canadian Christian retailers in a Special Edition DVD packaging that includes two bonus acoustic tracks not available on the CD, concert footage, a photo gallery, and a vellum overlay cover with deluxe photo booklet and song by song content.
