Gospel Music Channel Premiers Nichole Nordeman Worldwide
'Finally Free,' the new video single from Nichole Nordeman's March release, "Recollection: The Best Of Nichole Nordeman," will premier this Saturday on the Gospel Music Channel, currently seen in nearly 10 million homes. "We've been waiting for a new video from Nichole, says Jerry Williams, Director of Programming, Scheduling and Acquisitions, Gospel Music Channel. "Finally Free' was worth the wait. It's a great song from a favorite artist and the concept works spectacularly without being obvious. It's a treat to be able world premier 'Finally Free' on Gospel Music Channel."
Nordeman penned 'Finally Free' with countless stories in mind of women she's met at Women of Faith conferences across the country. "I've stood on the floor of the arena... looking 360 degrees... at 20,000 women. And, sometimes, I sit there and I look into these stands of women and think, 'what have you brought in the door with you... what kind of heavy chains have you drug in behind you that you are hoping to drop this weekend.' Writing this song was very emotional for me, because I was just sitting at my piano closing my eyes and picturing these heavy, heavy stories of the things in women's lives that imprison them - whether it's addiction or a devastating choice or a crippling depression. So, to be able to write a song about the possibility of finally being free from those chains was very important to me and has become an anthem for me personally, as well," Nordeman explains.
The 'Finally Free' video, filmed in Dallas, quickly became the anthem of Women of Faith and is being played in the closing segment at all Women of Faith Conferences throughout 2007. The video will also be used in a stand-alone retail piece along with additional footage.
Nichole Nordeman recently penned the cover story for CCM's April GMA issue, initiating a compelling dialogue with 13 of Contemporary Christian Music's most influential recording artists on the topic of 'image and authenticity.' She is scheduled at Women Of Faith conferences this summer and throughout the fall. A complete list of Nichole Nordeman's upcoming performances and updates can be found at NicholeNordeman.com.
