Her voice reminds me of a young Amy Grant, which of course is not necessarily a 'bad' thing. ;-) A very sweet album. I think this might be placed under christian music, but not all the songs are overtly 'christian'. Definitely falls under the category of 'easy on the ears' music. I enjoyed listening to this music.

Debut of the century

"I usually dont buy debut albums. Most seem to have a not finished appeal to them. And some just dont have any good and well written songs on them. But here is something different. A debut album with massive production and deep down bright and well written songs. I first heard Carolyn's I can hear you when I was round my Auntie's place. She told my Dad you would like this Cd and so Dad took it and then I heard it when I came home one day. The most awesome song that struck me right between the eyes was the brilliant "You Take My Soul By Storm" and to this day this is my fav song of Caz's! The other amazing standouts are the lovely quiet "Reaching" and the brilliant marriage orientated "Home Fires Burning". The best heavier song has to be "The Power Of Love" amazing dulcimer and guitar on this song! ALl in all a fantasy starting album that to me has an out of this world feel! Carolyn is destined for a great future!"

Tired of blah Christian music?

"Like many teenagers, Christian music bothers me. I recently identified why: most Christian artists simply don't have anything to say.This is also a problem in secular pop, but many secular artists, especially rock artists, really have a message to convey, often a deep and profound meaning. Creed is a great example. On the other hand, most Christian artists really only say "Jesus is good! Rah rah rah!" and leave it at that, leaving the listener unsatisfied, no matter HOW good their music is.Enter Carolyn Arends. Every song in this fantastic album conveys a message. Her lyrics are fresh and not at all worn out, like a typical Christian artist is. The songs are profound, uplifting, and spiritually envigorating, and on top of it all, it's darn good music.Besides, the first verse of Seize the Day is practically about me :)"
