Beautiful Awakening is the third album from American CCM/pop singer Stacie Orrico. The album is set for release on January 16, 2007 and will be released on Virgin Records. Originally this album was set for a release late August in the U.S. - however, the debut single wasn't being picked up on the radio so Virgin sent Stacie overseas to promote, while they re-thought their marketing strageties and re-shot the video for her first single. It is rumored that the U.S. version of Beautiful Awakening will be updated with new vocals and beats, and well as a couple new songs.
Stacie's new album is described as " a soulful, R&B-powered effort that tells the story of her journey, which has landed her where she is today: in control of her life and career for the first time". Orrico co-wrote a majority of the album and worked with a variety of top-notch producers, including Dallas Austin, KayGee & Terence "Tramp-Baby" Abney, Dwayne Bastiany,Shekspeare and co-writers such as Track & Field, Anthony Dent, and, newcomers Frankie Storm & Novel, the grandson of Solomon Burke. Orrico hints she wrote the songs for instrumental as well as acoustic performance: "I want to perform soul music. That is what rings true to me. And truth, honesty, and vulnerability always rise to the top."
The first single from the album is "I'm Not Missing You" went to radio on June 20th but will be re-released on October 3rd. The video was shot in Los Angeles, California on May 31 and June 1.
Although the second single had been rumored to be "Dream You" and "Is It Me", it appears "So Simple" has been confirmed to be the second single for Europe and Asia. She appears on the "Singapore Idol" results show as a guest star.
