Surely the best remix album yet!Saturday, October 30, 2004
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 Blazin' Hot RemixesMonday, August 09, 2004
Ms. Lampa did a great job on her gospel remixes. She had appearances by Souljahz and other black artists who laid down some vocals for the album. Rachael has a strong voice and the remixes are good for the teen audiences for today, good job Rachael!!!! I definetly am going to say get a copy.

Good Job, Rachael!Wednesday, December 17, 2003
I was blown away when I heard this CD, it wasn't at all like I thought it would be. I have the Lampa's other 2 CDs and they're okay, but this one's definately the best one, even though the songs are just remixed. Rachael has a wonderful singing voice and these songs were totally mad for her. The first I ever heard her sing was on a Miss Teen U.S.A. pageant about 3 or 4 years ago and just was hooked. Anyway, like I said in my title, Rachael, you did a good job.

Not what I expectedWednesday, October 29, 2003
I have to admit I was somewhat dissapointed with this album.
I think I expected the remixes to be a little more dance-oriented. It's not terrible but it could have been better.
