March 31, 2008 (FPRC) -- Audrey Faith Perry McGraw, known professionally as Faith Hill , is an American country and pop singer, known both for her commercial success and her marriage to fellow country star Tim McGraw. Hill's voice, described as both soulful and raspy, and careful song selection, have helped her to sell more than 35 million records and accumulate eleven number-one singles on the Country charts.
Hill has been honored by the Country Music Association, the Academy of Country Music, the Grammy Awards, the American Music Awards and the People's Choice Awards. Her Soul2Soul II Tour 2006 with husband McGraw became the highest-grossing country tour of all time. In 2001 she was named one of the "30 Most Powerful Women in America" by Ladies Home Journal.
In 2007, Hill started work on her first domestic greatest hits package, titled The Hits, which was released on October 2. The Hits features two new songs, "Lost" and "Red Umbrella", plus a live version of the song "Stronger," taken from the Soul2Soul 2007 tour. The album also features hits covering her entire career from 1993-2005. Included with The Hits is a DVD of 11 of Hill's music videos. The album has sold 230,000 copies in the US.
Hill will be heard on Aretha Franklin's upcoming album, A Woman Falling Out of Love, planned to be released in 2008. She also recorded a duet called "Sleeping with the Telephone" for Reba McEntire's Duets album, released on September 18, 2007. Hill is also featured on husband Tim McGraw's 2007 album Let It Go. She sings two duets with him, "I Need You" and "Shotgun Rider". Both songs were sung at the couple's critically acclaimed Soul2Soul II Tour 2006. She and Tim also did an encore of their Soul2Soul II Tour; Soul2Soul 2007 began in June and ran through August. The song I Need You has been nominated twice at the 2008 Grammy Awards for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals and Best Country Song. The show took place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA on February 10, 2008 but the song didn't win.
Hill also sang the theme for Sunday Night Football that airs on the NBC network. The song is called "Waiting All Week For Sunday Night".
Annie Lennox has joined forces with Faith Hill and 22 other female artists to raise the awareness of the transmission of HIV to unborn children in Africa. "Sing," which Hill collaborated on, was released on World Aids Day on December 1st 2007, when Lennox appeared at the next Nelson Mandella 46664 concert in South Africa.
About releasing a duets album with husband Tim McGraw, she later stated that they have other projects.
Faith is also working on her Christmas album, which has been confirmed for 2008 release, as well as some "surprises".
Her next country studio album won't be released before 2009.
