Remix albums never seem to do much for me. But with this one, it's different. Rachael and her mixers put some mind into this. I was not left disappointed with the songs, which is very unusual.
There is a perfect combination of hip-hop, pop, and dance on this. There was a sound with more youthful interest put into some remixes, such as "Free", "I'm All Yours", and "Savior Song".
The remixes of "Day Of Freedom" and "Live For You" shared a bit of a Middle-Eastern feel, while "Live For You" did not only share that, but also had it's own extremely fast-tempo dance effect, which was unlike "Day Of Freedom".
I must say, "Blessed" and "A Song For You" had matured so much with the remixes. Especially "A Song For You". That one sounds just as it says it does (London Day Dream). It did have more of a dreamy effect, and also an "up-beatish" sound, but not to incredibly upbeat, which is good.
The remixes of "For Your Love" and "Lead Me (I'll Follow)" never seemed to be noticed very much. Many people have expressed "For Your Love" to have to much of a "sleepy" sound for them, but not for me, I turned out to really like the sound of it, just as much, if not more than the original. "Lead Me (I'll Follow)" was much better than the original (to me). Again, it sounds just as it says it does (Elevation).
One thing I did like about this album, is that all the songs had the right remix titles for themselves. You don't really have to listen to the songs to know what they sound like, you just look at the remix title, and then use your imagination. Anyway, this is a GREAT album and you don't wanna miss it!

Rachael's Newest
2 Dec 2002
Format:Audio CD
The remixed songs on this album are really great and enjoyable! Rap must be pretty "in" these days because it's sprinkled sparingly throughout the album, although the remix of the beautiful song "Free" contains more rap than there is of the song unfortunately. My two favorite songs are the remixes of "I'm All Yours" (featuring the group Souljahz) and "Live For You" which has been transformed into a fast dance-type song. Any Rachael Lampa fan should own this album as long as you don't mind the rap and being addicted!

Works as a dance remix or as a listening album
3 Aug 2003
Format:Audio CD
On Rachael Lampa's debut album, I liked half the songs--the fast ones with a beat--but those 5 songs were so good that it put her album in my top 5 of my Favorite CDs of 2001. Can you imagine my delight, then, when I read in a Christian music magazine that Rachael Lampa had a new REMIX album out?! I paid big bucks for this one because I wanted it so badly.
More of the songs on this album are from her second album, "Kaleidoscope," which I do not have, than her debut album, "Live For You," which I do have.
The mix on this album is fabulous: if you have a subwoofer, this is an album to get to make good use of your subwoofer! Killer heavy bass, top notch sound from low to high. This would sound perfectly at home on Top 40 radio, except you'll never hear it there because of her explicitly Christian lyrics.
As far as this being a remix album, the remixes are done very well. I was especially anxious to hear the remix of "Day of Freedom," the only song I know of in Christian music with Arabic influence--I was hoping they'd make a really good World Beat dance track out of it. They disappointed me in that way, not doing as much with that as they could have, but they could have done worse too, so I'm satisfied enough with it and in fact play that track more than any other, simply because I like that song the best.
While the remixes are done very well, they are more like Top 40 remixes than drive-you-to-your-feet dance remixes. Most are quite danceable, but if you're expecting an album of driving dance music, you won't find that. You will, however, find superbly mixed and performed music that would fit somewhere into any night of dance music.

Go Rachael!!
25 Jun 2003
Format:Audio CD
I've been a fan of Rachael for a while now, but this was honestly the first CD of hers that I ever bought. (The others were mostly downloaded, but purchased soon after hearing "Blur")
This songs are very nicely remixed and very enjoyable!
01. Free (Holla Back Mix) - Very nice!! Many of my friends enjoy this one because of the rap, which many younger kids and teens are into. This one is fun to dance to. 4.5/5
02. Savior Song (Sonic Overload Mix) - This is one of my favorites on the CD. I really like the way Rachael sings in this one. And the rap in it is a nice touch. 5/5
03. Brand New Life (Sunny Day Mix) - This one is okay. I guess I just don't like the kind of "breathy" vocals. The guitars are nice though. I usually skip over this one. 3.5/5
04. Day of Freedom (Mirage Remix) - I really love this one! This has always been one of my favorite songs by Rachael. It's very good. I love the guitars and strings. 5/5
05. I'm All Yours (Giraffro Phat Funk Mix) - This one features Souljahz. I really like this one. Really different from alot of the other songs on the CD, IMO. The rap is very nice. 5/5
06. For Your Love (Gravity Moon Mix) - This one is nice. A little too "sleepy" for my taste though (If that makes any sense at all.) I'd much rather listen to the original version of this song. 4/5
07. Live For You Marbella Mad Motion Mix) - Another very nice song! Live For You is another favorite Rachael song of mine, so I really enjoyed the remix. 5/5
08. Lead Me (I'll Follow) (Elevation Remix) - This another one that I usually skip over. It's a nice song, it's never been one that I've ever really enjoyed much. 3.5/5
09. A Song For You (London Daydream Mix) - Another one of my favorites! I really like the more upbeat-ish tune of this. I like love the guitars in this one. 5/5
10. Blessed (Epiphonic Remix) - I really like this song! The strings through out are very nice! However, they did take out my favorite part of the song that really shows off Rachael's amazing voice. That really disappointed me. But it's still nice.
4.5/5
Overall, I really enjoyed this CD, and have even gotten many of my friends (Who have never really enjoyed Christian music very much.) to become fans of Rachael with this CD. I recommend it to pretty much everyone who asks me what CDs they should buy.
