Comments: Rebecca St. James comes out with a complete masterpiece! With a high-energenic pop sound and the strong and beautiful vocals of an Australian Kelly Clarkson, Rebecca and her band have come out with an album with the spirituality of a worship album and the highly-addictive lyrics and sound of any contemporary band. The hit singles Come Alive, God Help Me, Beautiful Stranger, and You are Loved show the unique style of the band, but are not the only good songs. Songs like Love Being Loved by You, Take All of Me, and Forgive Me are as worshipful as Chris Tomlin or David Crowder and I wouldn't feel uncomfortable singing them in church. The album has much meaning to Rebecca where as the song Beautiful Stranger was written as a motivator for people to the missionairy field from when she visited Africa and You are Loved which was a song written to an old friend who left God. The album includes Thank You which has a guest rap solo by Toby Mac which adds to the uniqueness of it. This cd in my opinion is one of the 10 best contemporary christian cds in the past decade. Highly recommended.
