Awesome cd that I have loved for years and still listen to regularly
I have liked most of Jacis releases but this one( and her Christmas album) are most definitly the best she has done. I have owned this cd since its release date in the late 90s and I continue to listen to it on a regular basis.


Inpirational, Passionate, Spiritual
The Holy Spirit is definitely speaking through her voice. Jaci Velasquez is the embodiment of grace and beauty. "Speak to Me" is the best track. Buy the CD and let the Spirit speak to you. .


Disappointing
She is also very charming and attractive. This young woman is an extremely talented singer. After seeing her in Chasing Papi, I admired her youthful vigor. And that beautiful black hair is stunning. She has a beautiful voice. The CD is produced well.

But. . .

But the sound is little different than every other female contemporary christian music singer. So if that's what you want, then fine

I was hoping that this young lady would bring the world something different. I thought perhaps that her Latin background would bring a new spice into the contemporary christian music scene. But instead, it was the other way around. The contemporary christian family friendly happy suburban American world has made its mark on her.

Speaks to me
Oh, I love the natural looking, stunning cover photo too!

Featuring Toby Mac and Tait of DC Talk on some of the tracks, it featured a slightly edgier sound from her debut, and deeply personal lyrics about vulnerability and dependence on God. This eponymous CD is Jaci Velasquez's sophomore effort, and my favourite of all her CDs to date.

Opening track is the tender ballad `God so loved', here in an English and Spanish version (`Al mundo Dios amó').

Then comes the rocker `Show you love' featuring Tait on harmonizing vocals. This song really kicks.

`Little voice inside' is an epic, dramatic, acoustic/string laden ballad co penned by Toby Mac, as is `Speak for me' which is a song asking to be used as God's mouth piece. Both songs are brilliant!

'You' is a beautiful tender ballad extolling the virtues of God.

'Look what love has done' is a power ballad in the style of Celine Dion. 'Glory' is Jaci's trademark sunny, upbeat pop sound.

`Child of mine' is my absolute favourite track. A very edgy, rocky track, in the style of Jennifer Knapp. Sung from the view point of God, it tells us we are His child. Awesome!

The pair of `Sweet surrender' and `Paper tigers' are brooding, psychedelic-sounding ballads sung in a smoky lower register.

`Made my world' is another upbeat rocker, similar to `Show you love'.

An excellent follow up. 4 and a half stars!

The Only Jaci CD Worth Buying...
Even if the music doesn't appeal to you, the well-delivered lyrics are amazing; very sincere and full of truth. Don't make up your mind about Jaci until you've heard this CD. The melodies are strong, each song can stand by itself, and before long you'll find yourself singing along. Personally I'd buy it just for the beautiful, "You. " I don't own many popular Christian CD's, but whenever I feel I'm faltering in my walk with God this CD never fails to uplift and encourage me. .
