4.0 out of 5 stars Room to Breathe, March 15, 2005

By	C. Dixon "wrinksis" (Silver Spring, MD USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

ZOEgirl's 4th studio disc won't necessarily win you over immediately. Relying closely on the pop-rock stylings of their previous release, Different Kind of Free, this cd is a steady grower rather than an instant hit. The members of ZOEgirl continue to unapologetically minister to their fans and seekers alike. First single "About You" (co-written with Pete Kipley and Shaun Shankel, who've also worked with Kara Williamson & produced by Shankel) puts the focus squarely on God by proudly proclaiming "I'll lay down my pride/ `cause You laid down Your life." The sassy "Dead Serious" invites skeptics to experience the joy of belief, and "Scream", contrary to its title, offers quiet reflection throughout its verses. "Skin Deep", penned by Kristin, picks up where 2001's "Plain" left off. These three numbers, produced by Stacie Orrico collaborators Mark Heimermann and Tedd T respectively, are some of the most memorable. "Forevermore" is appropriately uplifting and worshipful. While Room to Breathe may not be the best ZOEgirl album, it offers plenty of comfort as Alisa, Chrissy, and Kristin's sweet harmonies invite you to experience something more important than yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great CD, August 10, 2005

By	David Braswell "David" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is one of the best Christian CD's I have ever owned and I have several. Many reviewers compare Zoegirl with Jump5 but this Zoegirl CD is much better than any of Jump5's in my opinion. There are several great songs on this CD that seem to get better the more you listen to them. I highly recomend buying this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better and Better, July 5, 2005

By	Roger L. Johnson "The Counselor" (Garland, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I agree with "Wrinksis" that the album has to grow on you. I think it has to because "Different Kind of Free" was such a great album it was hard for the band to top that. I didn't think that they could do it myself. But as I started listening to it it grew on me. I Feel that both "Different Kind of Free" and "Room to Breathe" demonstrate a new depth reached by the band. It shows a genuine ethos for the human condition not hitherto revealed by the group. I think that the lyrics have always been unique, catchy, and cutting edge, witness "Dismisssed, "Plain", "In the Nick of Time". But I think in both of these albums there is a mixture of deep lyrics and variation, creative instrumentality and rythem. My favorites are "Life to Me" and "Skin Deep".
