First of all, I'd just like to say that I normally don't even LIKE this type of music... yet I'm IN LOVE with Nicole C. Mullen's CDs, both the first one and this new one.

I bought Nicole's first self-titled CD a few months ago because I really enjoyed "Redeemer" when I heard it in the WOW CD. At first when I heard "Shooby", I was like, "Uh-uh, I think this CD will be gathering dust soon... NOT my style." But pretty soon I couldn't get enough of the CD. It was so different and earnest and unique. You can tell right off the bat that Nicole is a real Christian, that she has a real relationship with Christ. The songs truly strike a cord. So when I heard that the new CD was out, I ran to buy it...

It arrived last week and I've given it no rest. Nicole definately has a lot to say because all her songs have a real message to them, no fluff.

1. TALK ABOUT IT
* This one will make you get up and DANCE! LOL Based on Psalm 106:44,107 and the title track. This is what it's all about; we've been given salvation for free, we've been lifted out of the miry clay... so hey! We have to TALK ABOUT IT! Don't be ashamed, don't be silent! This is the message of this song; be loud and be proud! AMEN!

2. BABY GIRL
* Typical NCM in that she narrates (tells a story) a lot in her songs. Here there are two instances of frustration, one by a 14 year old, one of Nicole and the help they recieve is the chorus: "Baby girl don't you know your wealth... God has made you a shining star..."
* This song shows that FUNKABILITY is back! :-)

3. CALL ON JESUS
* If you liked 'Redeemer', you'll like this one, too!
* This song just touches me. Everyone feels discouraged, ordinary... "But when you call on Jesus, all things are possible, you can mount on wings like eagles and soar..."
* Very powerful song. Awesome.

4. LET ME GO
* This is a song to fear... he had captured me, he had blinded me, but let me go... Mr. Love reigns here now! "Perfect love casts away all fear"...

5. WITNESS
* This song starts with the kids that are heard throughout her CDs. So cute, I like them!
* Again, the theme that we have to talk about it, witness... no matter who you are, what your social standing is...

Other subjects throughout the CD... abstinence until marriage discussed in "The Ring"... Jesus as the Lion and the Lamb in "Come unto Me"... God, the miracle-worker in "I can/Believe" (an intro deut by her and her Dad... he has a great old-fashioned voice!)... "Black Light" goes back to a main theme in her first CD, which is race; here he exhorts African-American youth to be a "black light"... the beautiful "Heaven".

A quick close-up to the song "Sometimes"... very fun! This fast-paced song mirrors our fast-paced lives and it's a comfort to know that "you're the... same yesterday and tomorrow won't change all your excellent ways"! Great, one of my favs!

I SO HIGHLY RECCOMMEND THIS CD! It's different, it's wonderful, it has something to say! May God continue to bless Nicole.

Note: Keep the CD running for some hidden audio of Nicole with her kids... very cute! :-)

This is an awesome CD! It's got beautiful lyricks. I knew I had to get this CD when I heard Nicole's upbeat and fresh "Witness" (track 7). I also truly enjoy the songs "Talk About It", "I can/ Beleive", "Baby Girl", and "Black Light" on the more upbeat side. But my favorite song is "When I Call On Jesus", a slow song. It says: "Sometimes I'm hiding away from the madness aroun me like a child who's afraid of the dark- But when I call on Jesus all things are possible-I can mount on wings like eagles and soar" and many other poetic words.

The first song I ever heard Nicole sing was "Redeemer," and I was hooked! I went out immediately and bought the CD "Nicole C. Mullen." She soon became my favorite artist. I went and saw her sing in a "brown bag" concert in Houston, Texas. A brown bag concert is basically a single artist singing in a mall or a small outside location. She was just starting out at the time. She came out and everyone was excited. She sang outside. The temperature was about 65 degrees and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. She sang under a tarp canopy. Her voice was so full and rich that it resonated. I can't explain it in words, because I have never had that type of experience before. If you are a chocolate lover and I am, it is like drinking a warm cup of hot chocolate at the Ghiradeli Chocolate Factory in San Fransisco (multiplied by about a million). I bought her "Talk about it" CD as soon as it came out, and bought another one for her to sign at a concert she sang at Lakewood Church in Houston. I keep it proudly in a box with all my special memories I have had since childhood. I had the pleasure of talking with her after both her concerts I attended. She is just as sweet and beautiful as her music, if that's possible. I just saw she has a Christmas Album out, so I guess I will have to go buy that after I finish this writing this review. I love her music so much that my wife and I played a live version of "Redeemer" at our wedding. When I first heard "Redeemer," it touched me so much it brought tears to my eyes. I was just beginning my personal walk with Christ and I listened to this song over and over again. I didn't think you could wear out a CD, but I have replaced the two CD's twice. If you could imagine watching the most beautiful woman in the world, in a dress worthy of the Princess of Buckingham, walking up the aisle (crying because she loves you so much), you can catch a glimse of how powerful and beautiful Nicole's music is.

I wanted to buy this CD as soon as I heard "Call on Jesus" on the radio and I was very pleasantly surprised with the other songs Nicole C. Mullen included on the album. My favorites? "Call on Jesus" (of course), "Heaven" and "Black Light". "Heaven" is especially poignant after the events of September 11th. Her voice resonates her passion for the song and is a wonderful testimony of Christian faith. This album will be at the top of my Christmas gift giving list!

I'm a fan of Christian Rock/Alternative music and I rarely veer into the Contemporary music scene. I sing soprano, and had to find some new songs to sing at church. I asked a friend for recommendations and she suggested Nicole Mullen. I bought this CD and absolutely love it! This CD has it all ... and every song is good! The songs range from funk to sweet worship, and all with sensitivity and power.

I bought this cd 2 years ago based on a few clips I could download. I have a hard time choosing words that do justice to the power and the impact that the messages in her music send to me. "When you call on Jesus all things ARE possible".

For those of you who have children make sure that you listen to all of #14. She sings a bedtime song to her children that is so touching.

What a voice!!!!!!

Following her smash, self-titled debut album, Nicole C. Mullen took the Christian rock world by storm in 2001 with the release of the single "Call On Jesus." Quickly rising to the top of all the Christian charts, and staying there for many months, Nicole became a Christian household name. Nearly two years later, "Call On Jesus" remains one of the most requested songs on Christian radio stations.

This album, however, is much more than just that single. It contains a wide range of musical styles, from hip hop, to rock, to ballads. In addition, peppered throughout the album are little snippets that I can best described as a look into Nicole's heart (listen to "All Aboard," "#27," and "Jas Class," along with the end after "When Heaven Calls."

No matter what your musical taste, Nicole C. Mullen has not only included it on this album, but she has nailed each and every one. Without a doubt, one of the best releases in 2001.

I just recently got this cd and it is so awesome!! I love "Talk About It", " Sometimes", " Witness" and " When I Call On Jesus". However, all the songs are terrific and uplifting. The song "The Ring" is the kind of positive message teens/singles need to hear. May God continue to use her to show His love,understanding,and encouragement that He holds the power to change you for the best and take any situation and turn it around for good. I recommend this for everyone. Especially anyone seeking a reality in God.

Nicole is truly anointed. Words cannot express the impact that she has already made on so many lives through her music. God is truly using her. She's right; we are so not perfect. However, God can use us despite our imperfections. We don't have to be rich, pretty, or popular in order to impact this world for Christ. Daniel 12:3 says, "Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever." The light of Christ is definitely in Nicole C. Mullen; she is leading many souls out of darkness into the light of God's unconditional and everlasting love."

I just finnished listening to this CD for the second time and it is awesome! Nicole's lyrics are airtight and her voice on the Cd is crystal clear. All of the songs have their own unique sound and they all have done something to strenthen my christian faith. "Call on Jesus" and "Witness" are probably my favorites. This CD causes me to sing, dance and reflect on God and his goodness. The CD is a winner and is sure to please all who buy. I highly recommend it!
