Nichole Nordeman is back with a brand new six songs EP, "The Unmaking". This
is her first album since the album “Brave” in 2005. Nichole Nordeman has had a couple
of hits including the popular song, “Holy”, “Legacy”, “Brave”, “What If”, and “Real
to Me”. She has also won four Dove Awards.
The album begins with the title track called, “The Unmaking”.
This song discussed breaking down the walls that surround us. We must let go of
the past and everything that has held us back from the living the life God indented
for us. When we let go, we find out who God truly is and we see the beauty in
being broken.
The second track was a song called, “Not to Us” and this
one features Christian artist, Plumb. This one talked about creating images of
ourselves and pursuing our own dreams without consulting with God first and
building on sinking sand. The chorus talks about giving all the glory to God
and not thinking it’s all us. I liked how the song was written like a praise
song and it conversed the importance of giving God all the glory for everything
and pointing others to him. I love the harmonies Plumb and Nichole Normeman had
on the track and this would be a great single for radio.
My favorite track would be track three, “Name”. This song
discussed waking up and seeing the truth about how much God loved us and how he
wrote our name in blood in His book. The chorus reminds us that we have the
heartbeat of God and we aren’t our ashes and He knows our name. We have to
avoid asking the shadows (the devil) who we are. The third verse/ bridge has
such a powerful declaration for believers to encourage them when they forget
how much God cares about them, and how we a friend of God, and we’re chosen. I
loved the lyrics of this song and the reassurance of God knowing our personal
name and people truly need to know this in this crucial time we live in. The message
of hope will resonated with listeners and I hope this song make it to radio and
is a huge hit!
Track name four was entitled, “Loved You More” and this one
talked about different Biblical stories including fleeting when the third time
the rooster crowed, climbing a tree to see Jesus, being swallowed by the sea,
and selling Jesus for a little silver and a betrayal kiss. The song related it
back to how we did the same things and He still loved us. It also contained a
cry to love Jesus more and a sense of gratuity for our second chances. I really
loved and connected to the meaning of the song and wanting to love Jesus more.
And He so gracefully still does even despite my countless failures. I liked how
this song had the piano as the main instrument in this song and it gave it a
peaceful Holy connection to God.
Track number five was titled, “Something Out of Me” and
this one dicussed the story about Jesus feeding the crowd of 5,000 with only
five loafs of bread and multiplying it where it was enough for everyone. It was
written in the perceptive as being one in the crowd and being in the back of
the line and watching there be enough left. The chorus talked about how God
takes something out of nothing and turns it into something. It also discussed
how God takes our doubts and making something out of me. I liked how this song
had a great tempo and it also contained a great reminder of how God can do the
impossible.
The last track of the EP was called, “Slow Down” and this
one was about the raw truth about children growing up and how she wished the
time would just slow down. It talked about the different stage of our kids
growing up such as, learning to crawl and walking and even rolling their eyes. This
song was a plea for time to slow down and many parents will most likely cry
through it.
I strongly recommend Nichole Nordeman’s new album to anyone
who enjoys listening to Christian music. The albums features a mix of fast and
slow tempo songs and there is something for everyone to enjoy. I’m so glad
Nichole Nordeman has returned to singing and she has made an incredible EP for
fans to love and listen to. If you’re looking for a hot new album to check out,

About the new album The Unmaking:
"Before things in our lives can be resurrected and
given new life, certain things must die. Before beauty blooms in spring,
roots must do the hard work under the hard frozen soil of winter. Before
you renovate and re-build, you tear down the parts of the structure that are
weak or damaged or dangerous. Before we make, we must unmake."
