I must say I was a bit surprised when I turned on the album & heard the first song "God Help Me". It was definitely a different sound for Rebecca-rock music! It just so happens to be my favorite song from the CD. It strays from the original pop sound of Rebecca St. James. I like this rock stuff! The next song, "Alive", is her first single from the album. Although not the best song on here, it's still great. "You Are Loved" is my other favorite from this CD. Even though it doesn't have the rock style of most of the songs on this CD, it is a wonderful midtempo track. I can find myself humming this song because it gets stuck in your head so easily! "Shadow Lands" is another wonderful, beautiful ballad. "Love Being Loved By You" is one of the rock songs on here. The ballad-like style of "I Need You" discusses the importance of a friend who is a spiritual impact in your life. Another favorite of mine is "Beautiful Stranger", an upbeat track that expresses that many people out there really need help, but others just overlook them or pass them by. I was very surprised to see another favorite artist of mine doing a duet w/ Rebecca...TobyMac! The song "Thank You" is a simple expression of gratitude to God with a hip-hop style of music. "Take All Of Me" is where the album starts to slow down & turn to worshipful ballads. This song is a prime example of giving your life fully to Jesus. The moving, inspiring song "Forgive Me" is St. James's duet with BarlowGirl, who later went on tour with her. It is a very touching song about how Jesus gave His life for us. "I Can Trust You" is probably my least favorite song on here. It just sounds draggy in parts and is just not my style. "Lest I Forget" is an awesome way to wrap up the album. It is a very worshipful track. All in all, this is a wonderful album that shows a different side of Rebecca St. James...in a good way!Read full review
the reason why I 'm giving this cd a five star is because she has a beautiful voice and she is also very talented both musically lyrically. I also like the fact that Rebecca St James music makes you feel good with a positive message. however do keep in mind this is Christian music. still I recommend Rebecca St. James to anyone who wants to feel better about themselves. her music and song writing has the power in doing so. lastly I would like to point out this album so far I believe this is her best one yet, worth checking out!
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I was skeptical of this cd before I listened to it all the way thru - St. James is not the greatest singer. HOWEVER, all the songs are fantastic and my opinion of her singing has changed too. Hauntingly beautiful melodies, plus many powerful rock songs too! Her singing style is surprisingly sexy with lots of breathiness, but not in a bad way. Guitars are prevalent and melodic, with every tune being catchy. The lyrics are devoutly Christian. Overall songwriting and production is first rate.
As a teenager, I think that this CD does an excellent job of portrayng the beautiful voice of Rebecca st. James. The CD has mostly fast, upbeat songs, but not to fast that you can't understand what she is saying. I think this is a wonderful gift or just for yourself to anyone in the family! I am glad I purchased it!
This cd is an awesome Christian cd, maybe Rebecca St. James' best cd ever made. When I bought it, I had no idea what was in store, but then when I listened to it, I started playing it over and over again. Overall, this cd is an awesome cd!
