ZOEgirl Is Awesome!!

"The first time I heard Zoegirl, I got goosebumps. I had just bought a CD Sampler and two of their songs were on there, "I Believe" and "Anything Is Possible" they were the only songs I listened to on that CD. I listened to it over and over again untill I knew all the words. The lyrics are really awesome and a it brings a good Christian message to anyone who listens. The beat goes just great with it. The group members Kristin Swinford, Alisa Girard, and Chrissy Conway wrote or cowrote all of the songs on the album. They are very simala to the Christian Boy Band Plus One. They just might become the next Christian Teen Craze. "Zoe means 'life.' Not just life in general, but the kind of life attained through living according to the will of God in Christ Jesus. We want our lives to be examples of that - being a 'ZOEgirl.'""
A fun and upbeat experience.

"I saw the music video for the energetic dance tune "I Believe" from ZOEgirl's self-titled debut of 2000 and decided to check out the group. I'm a Christian and a big fan of Christian music, but instead of songs that you'd hear in church, the contemporary Christian hits on this disc are hardly traditional hymns.The aforementioned "I Believe" along with "Anything Is Possible" and "Suddenly", which are the first three songs on the disc, are funky tunes you can groove to."Give Me One Reason" is a slow ballad that proclaims a girl's love for God is more important than a girl's love for her boyfriend ("Boy, I still long for your embrace/But what I've found in God, oh it could never ever be replaced")."Living For You" is a praise song that reminds me of something Point Of Grace would sing ("I wanna see your face/I wanna speak your name/I wanna tell the whole world how my life has changed")."No You" and "Little Did I Know" remind us that God is always with us. (From "Little Did I Know": "Little did I know that one prayer could reach You/Little did I know that You'd even care".)"Stop Right There" is a cool song and probably one of my favorites. It's like Christina Aguilera, Christian-style. ("Stop right there/Suddenly temptation's flying everywhere/And you think you've got me down/Well, think again, I'm not your friend/Don't play with me, I'm not your property".)"Upside Down" and "Live Life" are both fast, fun songs about God saving us from this crazy world. (From "Live Life": "Your mercy and sweetness when I felt so worthless/You broke down my walls and made me see".)"Constantly" is another soft slow song that cries out to God. ("Lord, don't give up on me, it's You I need/So let Your love rain down upon my soul".)All in all, if you're a fan of Christian music--or even if you aren't--I encourage you to purchase this CD, or at least listen to a few of the songs. You won't regret it, and maybe they'll even help you get closer to God."
Amazing...

"I heard ZoeGirl perform one song at Hills Alive in Rapid City SD. I hadn't heard of them before that, but I loved the song they sang. I bought it as soon as the CD came out and I love it! The songs are fast and they put you in a good mood. They're really uplifting and they make you wanna dance. I bought the CD especially for the song "Give Me One Reason" because that song touched my heart because I was in a very similer situation as they wrote in the song. But, if you like pop music and want something energetic this is a very good buy."
Really good Christain music!!!!

"I don't have this cd. But I do have Life and Differend Kind of Free, and I love them. I would definetly give them five stars. I have based my judgement on my cds, but not entirely. I've heard some of their songs from this cd and I really like them. So I'm positive that this one is going to be amazing too!!"
