This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. ZOEgirl: Chrissy, Alisa, Kristin (vocals). ZOEgirl's fourth studio effort follows the lead of 2003's Different Kind of Free, when the CCM trio adopted a modernist pop/rock sound similar to artists like Avril Lavigne or Kelly Clarkson's Breakaway LP. On Room to Breathe, ZOEgirl's Chrissy Conway, Alisa Girard, and Kristin Swinford also tie the self-confidence that's at least generally preached by their secular peers to a Christian message. "Forevermore" is a traditional worship song -- "Lift up your eyes to the One who reigns" -- but "Good Girl" puts a contemporary spin on that sentiment, acknowledging the social pressures to fit in but pointing to the Lord as a guide. "Not the One" is even more direct, turning the classic rebuff of a flashy suitor into an encouragement of abstinence. "Skin Deep" and "Dead Serious" follow suit, ably blending props to Jesus and shouts out to being strong with a load of crisp, harmony rich hooks. "Who's that girl with the Bible in her hands?" "Serious" asks sassily over a whizzing keyboard vamp. Remove the religious imagery, and it could be a sunny and swaggering jingle for a hip makeup line. The entire album showcases the voices of Conway, Girard, and Swinford, who support each other and trade leads with ease. And the songwriting is never bland, from "Safe"'s rousing rock chorus to the mellow shimmer of "Way You Love Me." But "Dead Serious" and the single "About You" are the likely best examples of ZOEgirl's stand-tall, pray-proud platform on Room to Breathe, because they effectively marry the trio's message to undeniable pop choruses. ~ Johnny Loftus Though it only took a few years for ZOEGirl to become one of the biggest Christian teen-pop acts in the world, the group's albums reflect a maturity that many bands take much longer to achieve. ROOM TO BREATHE is as danceable and energetic as anything burning up the secular charts, but ZOEGirl's songs aren't afraid to address serious themes. "Scream" is a moody mid-tempo tune concerning a lost soul's desperate bid for attention, set to beats and synths reminiscent of Portishead. "Let It Out," a rocker equal parts the Go-Go's and Avril Lavigne, is a call not only to have fun, but to offer one's heart to the Lord, while "Skin Deep" is a funky bass workout that aims to help listeners overcome depression and poor self-image. A record that's catchy and full of ambitiously modern production touches, ROOM TO BREATHE will appeal to both church-going teens and faith-minded alternative-rock fans with a taste for lush female vocals and great pop songs.

WOW! ZoeGirl totally appeals to me because I like the pop-rock mix - as long as it's Christian. I get so tired of the worldly stuff my friends call "awesome." You've got to have something decent and up-beat to listen to, and that's exactly what Room To Breathe is - Christian without getting sappy. Keep it up, girls!
