Brilliant. I just had to use that word to make sure that you don't just read this review but you also, instantly, go out and do yourself a favour by buying this superb album. It oozes class, setting itself right up there in the dance/disco top bracket. There are some great lyrics on this album but it's the music you'll enjoy - and the even better news is that you could be listening to any top line chart act when you catch hold of this voice and production. As Margaret Bell proved last year, and Amy Grant has proved regularly, you don't need to include 'Jesus' and 'God' in every line you utter for them to be classed as Christian songs. Cindy is fabulous on her choruses to songs, check out the winding-up of the vocals to "Say It Again" and the breathiness of "It's Gonna Be Heaven" and you'll know what I mean. "Real Life", "Moment In Time" and "Free World" serve to emphasise the difference in class between this and most Christian album, or for that matter mainstream releases put out this year. Buy it
