    This talented, former studio singer for Amy Grant, creates a smashing, R&B/pop sound that vibrates with careful thought, intelligence, and groove. Nicole's voice is somewhat similar to the tradition of artists like Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. The album contains a dance-type melody called "Miracles," which features Fred Lynch from the rap group P.I.D. It expresses God's love wrapped up as a bundled gift for the unloved, victims of abuse.

    Nicole penned most of her lyrics and they will definitely put you on your feet as well as enlighten your faith in Christ. The ultimate desire to change this cruel, devastating world is what Nicole sings for. While her sensibility is deeply portrayed in all her music, this young lady's lyrics are geared toward the teens and the victims of domestic violence. The spiritual insight of her album is to present Jesus' message of love in the simplest form possible-tearing down the walls of self-destruction and low-esteem are the stepping stones to victory.

    If you are experiencing the emotions of depression, hurt, or unforgiveness, this is an album for you. Once I caught it, I couldn't put it down. Nicole's voice is one you will never forget.
