Transform Review

Rebecca St James has done it again! Even though “Transform” was released nearly four years ago (Fall 2000) it’s sound is still modern and its lyrics captivate you! Exploding with her trademark edgy rock and its chimey pop tinge Rebecca delivers all 13 songs in an upbeat fashion. The first track with lyrics (song one is a beautiful yet brief instrumental introduction) “For The Love of God” is just bursting with modern rock flavor that carries over to the unique hit-song “Reborn” that is in a class of it’s own. The sunny song “Don’t Worry” has a great message of leaving things up to God and very enjoyable light pop sound. A couple other great songs lead to the highlight of the album the infamous hit-song “Wait For Me”. This song of purity and devotion would be reason enough to buy the album! Expressing the desire and commitment to remain pure for her future spouse, Rebecca found “the” song to capture the hearts of worldwide audiences. As a result of this song it easily said that hundreds of thousands have committed to remain to abstinent and wait for their own future spouses! It's followed up with a great acoustic track (similar to what you find on “Pray” another St James album) “In Me”. A few tracks lead up to “Stand” a passionate song that calls worldwide believers to make a stand for God with “reckless abandon”. Then the closer “My Hope” has a beat slower than the other tracks yet brimming with, simply, hope and yet it goes deeper. Though every song may not be chart-topper material this certainly is an album worthy of attention, I highly recommend this CD and can say without a doubt it is one of my personal favorites. It is a great album as a foundation for your new christian music collection or an amazing edition to your "stash".
