In preparation for the album iTunes will be featuring a weekly countdown with a single premiere and podcasts for three weeks leading up to the release. The countdown is launching this week with the release of 'Strong Enough', a song inspired by a letter from a single mother of three children after her daughter survived a life threatening car accident and struggled with the long road to recovery.
