An interesting different direction Posted August 10, 2007 By joanna,
Given the big time gap between this album and her last one its not surprising the 2 are quite different. Her sound has matured quite a bit. This album doesn't directly mention God or faith although to me it seems like Beautiful Awakening is alluding to it. So simple deals with valuing the important things in life. Much of the album deals with the good and bad of romantic relationships. I Can't Give Up deals with the struggle to keep sexually pure. I applaud her honesty but it does get a little graphic in spots. Given these references and the prevalence of relationship songs this is probably not really for her younger fans of previous albums but older fans will probably enjoy this CD.
