Having toured extensively and making fans, literally around the world, this striking, international star has progressed musically and spiritually over the last couple of years, and is ready to release her high-energy music, and solid message to a growing audience. The project, primarily written by Meyers, and produced by Doubledutch (Mat Kearney, TobyMac), elicits energetic, fun, 80’s-style dance music, while Meyers delivers commanding vocals. As you listen to her sing “this is who we are, we won’t be ignored, we were born to make some noise,” on the title-track, you will undoubtedly want to make some noise of your own.

Not What I Expected from Meyers...| Posted September 04, 2008
Although Krystal Meyers has improved musical-wise, the lyrics in her songs on this album are increasingly secularized. Even in her "Make Some Noise" music video I was shocked to see her dancing a bit seductively, and wasn't too happy with her wardrobe either. I believe she could've done way better on this CD and I hope she does so in the future, although I don't have my hopes up.
Krystal Meyers- The Awakening of an Amazing Artist| Posted September 04, 2008
WOW- that is the first word that comes to mind when i think of how to describe the new album from Krystal Meyers, Make Some Noise. This is a girl who with her sophmore release is going to explode onto the christian music scene in a huge way.
Krystal Meyers' title track, Make Some Noise, is an anthem that is surely not going to be forgotten anytime soon. The song lyrics challenge people to live a life that speaks volumes to the world around them. The song also is an upbeat groove that will have you singing and dancing along in no time.
The new cd i think is very different in a good way for Meyers. The songs on this album have an underlying "futuristic" sound to them that is not overdone and every song on the album is a pleasure to listen to.
I think (for you itune-ers out there) that if you were going to download just certain songs off the album, that there are 3 songs you MUST, i repeat MUST have...
"Make Some Noise", "Love It Away", and "Your Hands"!! These songs will have you wanting more of Krystal Meyers' amazing new album.
And in the words of Ms. Meyers herself..."Get ready cause we like it loud, cause we were born to MAKE SOME NOISE" !!!!
Krystal is making some noise.| Posted September 03, 2008
Krystal Meyers definitely knows how to make some noise with her newest album. Whether good or bad noise I will leave up to you.
This album musically is very well put together. Everything flows really well and has a great vibe to it. It's more of a techno sound, but she mixes pop-rock into it very well. I have to say musically this could be an album of the year, but I think we need to take an in-depth look at the lyrics in the songs.
But before I do that there is something I would like to address. While Krystal was writing and recording this album she was having a rough time in life, and she wasn't in-tune with God like she wanted to be. Therefore I think that is the main reason several of her songs suffer and if you look at the lyrics that they can be a little more dreary than her previous work.
Krystal starts the album off with the very catchy song "Make Some Noise." I do like this song, but Krystal doesn't really point to God as the source of empowerment. So it's more of a secular song in that sense.
"Love It Away" Is a great song talking about how God will love you through the problems and help them to go away.
"Shine" is another song dealing with empowerment. Even though Krystal doesn't really talk about God in this song I prefer it over "Make Some Noise" because I can equate it with the fact that we are the light of the world and need to Shine for Christ. In this way it has already been encouraging to me. But it still does not have much depth to it.
"S.O.S." is probably my favorite song on this album. Krystal directly talks about God here, and calls out for God to rescue her/us.
"Feels So Right" is the first song I question on this album. It seems to be talking directly about relationships, but I don't find it to be a good song to equate with a relationship. It seems to put the focus on the person too much and the high you get. I think this song could be a bad song for Christians and Non-Christians alike. We need to remember to honor God with our relationships, and if we're in a dating relationship with someone I don't see this as a profitable song.
"My Freedom" is my second favorite song on the album. It doesn't talk directly about God, but it is highly emotional and hard to think a person could equate with what Krystal is saying: "Can you hear this soul is crying/ my soul is crying
Calling out to You/ will You come wash over me/ Like only You can do/ will You be my freedom?" It's easy to see her lack of closeness through this song and I can identify with that, so it's a very encouraging song in that aspect for myself.
"Up To You" is the second song on the album I do not like outright. It's dealing with a failed relationship(To me it seems like a marriage. It starts: "You gave me your hand so long ago/ But now our house is burning/ You're never home" But that is easy to look over.) Krystal seems to take the stance of "I'll leave it up to you." Which if it's a marriage I would hope she wouldn't take that stance. And even if it's a dating relationship, not caring never does anything.
"You'll Never Know" is the third song I don't like. It seems too depressing, talking about how you'll never know how it feels to "be let go" which I assume is a relationship. And I think it has depressing possibilities if someone has recently gone through a break-up or whatnot.
"In Your Hands" is a good song. It talks about trusting God even though you don't know what he has planned. Krystal doesn't directly say God, but as a believer it's obvious what she is saying.
As you can see, even though this album is great musically, Lyrically it could be better. I think it is up to you to decide what you will listen to from this album and not listen to. Choose wisely.
Score: 6.0
P.S. I did not talk about the song "Beautiful Tonight" because it was for some reason left out of the NRT preview.
Expected yet unexpected| Posted September 02, 2008
I expected her to like a pop star, but i didn't expect her to change it up on me. Her voice was not what I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be girly, but I had some power to it, which I like. Nice album for me to just jump around in the house.
Refreshing| Posted September 02, 2008
I was used to Krystal having a more rockier sound, but ever since "Shine" came out, I just loved the new sound!! This album is very fun for all and a dance for Jesus Record!! Teenagers of all ages will totally enjoy this gem!

I first heard Krystal's "The way to begin" on a wow hits CD and had to have her debut Cd, I've been a fan ever since. So I was scared when I heard she was wanting to go in a more pop direction, but my fears proved to be illogical. What I have heard of the album so far amazes me, Krystal's ability to jump from Rock to Pop so flawlessly is enough to floor a person.
Not only are the beats enough to get a person moving but lyricly it shows great growth. I also think Krystal needed this, she needed to do something compleatly new and unknown and rely compleatly on God.
If this doesn't prove he comes through I don't know what will...
Good job Krystal, keep up the good work!
