Pros: This CD is very well put together, beautiful and nourishing, and not overtly preachy.
Cons: Sometimes the lyrics are little hard to catch, but if in doubt, just read them!

Michelle Tumes' first CD is a masterpiece. Her sound is lovely and unique. While I don't agree with others that she is similar to Enya, it is mainly because her music has an ethereal beauty all its own. She is a Christian artist, but that isn't pounded ...
