 Singer-songwriter Jennifer Knapp, who rose to fame with a series of best-selling albums on Gotee Records in the '90s and disappeared from the music scene after her 2001 release, The Way I Am, has announced a return to music.
- On her newly-updated Web site, Knapp posted a note to listeners that she was creating new music and her MySpace page listed a new concert in Los Angeles on Friday, Sept. 25 with Phillip LaRue. Also on the MySpace page, Knapp posted a new song, “Letting Go.”
- “Yes, it's true,” Knapp wrote. “I am the real Jennifer Knapp and I've been doing a little music lately.”
- In her note, Knapp also said that during her five-year hiatus she has discovered “more about myself and my own faith without the veil of expectations to a cause. Without writing a novel at this point, I'll just say that I'm starting to think I might actually be a songwriter, musician or artist of some kind....So maybe I should do something about it.”
- During her years as a Gotee artist, Knapp sold more than 1 million records, appeared at Lilith Fair and received Dove Awards and GRAMMY Award nominations.
- Five years is a long time to be gone in a fickle music world, but if Knapp returns to making music for faith-based audiences, I expect she'd be welcomed back. Her music is still heard on Christian radio and Gotee has attempted to keep the flames burning with collections and re-releases. What do you think?
