Free Music Review: Definitely Genuine(EDITED: Jan. 9, 2004)
Hit: 5 Stars
Stacey Orrico is just now starting to make a name for herself with her second album "Stacie Orrico" she has Top 40 Radio Hit "There's gotta be(more to life)". And while I do enjoy the songs I've heard off that record, and plan to buy it, I guess I wish she would have stayed a little more clear about what she's singing about(God). But people change, and as long as she's staying true to what God wants for her, then I'm happy. :DNow onto this album.... It must be known that Stacey was only 14yrs when she recorded this. She won a record deal at a talent contest when she was only 12yrs. And so she recorded her first album Genuine, a contemporary Christain album that has enough edge and heartfelt vocals to rival other powerhouse singers like Jessica Simpson and Christina Aguilera. Given a few more years(she's now 17), and she could truely be pheonominal. But on this record, you can tell she's 14yrs here, she's not trying to act older then she is, unlike many acts that can out that year or the year before. And for Stacie, this works very well.
Unlike many artist out today, she sends a positive and meaningful message, on such songs as "Genuine", a song about looking for something more meaningful in life and "Don't Look at Me", a song about telling people how imperfect she is, and that the one you really need to look for for a model and guidance is Jesus Christ. It also contains some fun dancey songs like "Ride" and "O, O Baby", which is one of more more favorite songs, it has a fun beat and a good message about God's plan for your own life. Some of the best slow songs are "Without Love", a song that says if she didn't have God, she would have nothing, it would all be meaningless(so true), "Everything", a song about saving yourself for the one you will marry, and "Dear Friend", my absolute favorite track. Why? Because this song is an absolutely haunting song about a friend whom has gotten lost in the perils of anorexia, it is a song that still speaks to me, and can be applied to not only anorexia, but any friend who is in desperate need of help, and it is a gorgeous song.
All in all debut showed a lot of promise for such a young artist, and has been continued with her second album, and hopefully, she will only get better.!
God Bless & *Enjoy* ~Amy

5) Stay True- Her vocals are very girly and sassy as the lyrics speak for itself. 5/5
6) Kum-Ba-Yah (Interlude)- Stacie is singing this song as a young child.
7) Genuine- For some reason, I'm thinking of Christina Aguilera when I heard this song. Maybe it's because the beats in this song sound late 90ish. But I Love Love Love this song. I like how this song is saying staying true to yourself. 10/5

Free Music Review: This Girl Radiates Positive Energy!

I had never heard of Stacie Orrico until I first came across her first book, "Genuine." It was featured prominently on the counter in front of the cash registe, and although it caught my interest, I never bought a copy. However, as the weeks rolled by, Stacie's book remained on the counter, as if patiently waiting for me to take it home. The power of believing in Him was strong with this one, because when I left, the bookstore was now one copy less of "Genuine."The next day found me seeking out Stacie's debut album. It didn't take long and soon I was listening to catchy tunes as "Ride," "O O Baby," and "Don't Look At Me." Stacie's wonderful album is spiritually and emotionally charged, leaving you with the feeling of rejuvenation. Needless to say, I also bought Stacie's second book, "Dear Friend" and Christmas album. I await her sophomore release LP, "Say It Again."
If you're fortunate enough to see Stacie live in concert, you're in for a treat. The girl is incredible. She really connects with her fans not only through her music, but through God as well.
I can't give enough praise for Stacie Orrico. I must thank the Lord above for providing us with Stacie, so that she may share the gift of her beautiful voice and talent. Amen.

"Genuine" and "Confidant," this girl has got it all! Stacie Orrico has become an effectual voice in her generation. Her originality has appealed to the youth. Her album reveals a heavenly voice, and it radiates her urban hip-hop style. She twists a hip-hop beat with Christan lyrics. These songs speak honestly to her peers about issues of typical Christian lives. Her fist single, "Don't look at Me," looks at Christ as superiority. Her music "Restores the Soul" and she stays true to her faith, always standing by the Lord. Her songs are positively devoted to the Lord. Stacie was signed at the adolescent age of 12. Although a youth herself, her lyrics represent a mature veteran.Her powerful voice has taken a great leap forward and she has reached perfection. Stacie has often been compared to Britney Spears and Christina Augilera. Fans of these pop artists who want to focus more on Christian faith should focus more on Stacie. Her amazing voice has also been compared to pop-rock singer Mariah Carey. They both have been recognized as mighty vocalists. No matter what type of music satisfies your taste, this talented vocal artist will appease your ears. Listening to Stacie Orrico is a delightful blessing.
