CD: Freedom

Artist: Mandisa

Rating: ***1/2

Mandisa's 2007 debut album True Beauty had me singing in the car at the top of my lungs giving all praise to God for His love and grace.

 Her second album, Freedom, has given me more reason to send up the praise, this time for the power He has to deliver us out of any situation.

 A blend of pop, dance, hip hop and gospel, Freedom is Mandisa's praise for her deliverance from weight issues and food addiction and call to a new confidence and a deeper understanding of who she is. Her songs teach us that no matter what our trouble, God's love is unconditional and He is always with us.

The tracks "The Definition of Me" and "Freedom Song" will have you dancing with joy while "Not Guilty" and "Broken Hallelujah" will have you raising your hands in adoration.

A great CD for ages 18-34.
