5.0 out of 5 stars A voice so truly God-given, you cant help but experience Him, August 1, 2000

Every once in a while, an artist conveys something soperfectlyand intensely that it is impossible to resist understanding the Reason, the Heart of her inspiration. Rachael is such an artist. You simply cannot listen to her music and not experience God, Who is in her words "the only reason for all these changes in my life...." Rachael says to her Lord Jesus, "my gift comes from You alone, and I...surrender [to] be freely used by You." Listen and you'll understand why her producer Brent Bourgeois calls her voice "a most priceless gift," and Amazon.com says "the novelty of a child prodigy is made new again."

"Live for You" is the kind of album that'll (after hearing a few times yourself) make you run out and share it with everyone you know. God will use it to convict you...to move you...to inspire you -- and I can give no higher praise than that.

Rachael's voice is so obviously a God-given gift, that she has mastered every facet of vocal technique, allowing her to covey the message in song with an undeniable talent and diverse musical variety...from the pop sounds of the title track and "Shaken" to the gospel-tinged "I am Blessed" to the tribal sounds of "Day of Freedom" and "Free" to the techno-flavored "God Loves You" and "You Lift Me Up," the Far Eastern sound of "Hide Me," the country sounding "Secret Place" and of course the true masterpiece ballads "Always Be My Home" and "My Father's Heart" (my personal favorites).

The words behind the voice are penned by Christian music's most gifted writers...from Cindy Morgan to Chris Eaton, Brent Bourgeois, and Chris Rodriguez, fellow singers Jill Phillips and Ginny Owens, David Mullen and Anointed's Da'dra Crawford. The music supporting Rachael's voice is the London Session Orchestra, recorded at none other than Abbey Road Studios.

5.0 out of 5 stars I can't stop playing this CD!, September 5, 2000

Wow. What an awesome album. There is not one single song on here that I would skip! I heard "Live For You" on the radio and was immediately taken. Of course, I was disappointed to have to wait for the album to come out, but it was SO worth the wait. Rachael has a fantastic voice and she really uses it to give glory to God. This is pop music, but it has a universal appeal - younger people will like it, and so will some older people. It's not childish, like some young secular pop singers can be. Anyway, my favorite songs are "You Lift Me Up," "Shaken," "Free," and "Day of Freedom." But like I said, *every* song is awesome!!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Voice of a Young Angel, August 12, 2000

The first time I heard the song "Live For You" by Rachael Lampa, I was amazed. I knew right then that I just had to have this CD. Rachael Lampa sounds a lot like Christina Aguilera except with a Gospel feel. This is my first Christian CD and it won't be my last. I like most of the songs, especially "Blessed" and "Shaken"... I also like the fact that they have the lyrics to the songs. If you enjoy Gospel and/or Christian music with a Pop flare, then you'll love Rachael Lampa's "Live For You" album.
