Woven and Spun

Editorial Reviews

Nichole Nordeman acknowledges that her music isn't easy sing-along stuff. In fact, while her art demands an attentive ear, it promises a wonderful payoff. On Woven & Spun, Nordeman's third release, the self-proclaimed "wrestling poet" has crafted her most profound work yet. It's a release that glitters with rich lyrical content and shimmers with Nordeman's atmospheric piano. While Nordeman still struggles with reconciling life in this world with her eternal hope and faith, she carries a greater sense of intimacy and grace in such vertically oriented tracks as "Holy," "Healed," and "Never Loved You More." Her version of Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes"--a cover begging to be done for years by a Christian artist--fits well with the reflective mood of the release. The pinnacle of Woven & Spun has to be Nordeman's ode to God's watchful eye with "I Am," a beautiful, moving tale of how the Almighty has walked closely with a woman from little girl to blushing bride. It's the crowning moment for one of Christian music's brightest hopes. --Michael Lyttle

Angelic music.......2007-03-02

There are some artists that define a certain style of music. Hendrix, Stevie Ray, Allison Krauss, Santana, and many others. In Christian music Nicole Nordeman really stands out. Her music is so beautiful, her lyrics are really moving and spiritual, and her voice------what can I say? It transports me. I listen to this CD over and over, and it never fails to move me. I have a multi-CD changer in my truck, and this CD is always in it. We so often are not what we should be, but Ms Nordeman reminds me that it's ok. We are not loved for our performance, we are simply loved.

A Great CD.......2007-01-09

Love this CD. It is in my CD player most of the time these days. If you've ever seen Nicole Nordemann in person, you need this CD. If you haven't seen her -- get a ticket! Ms. Nordemann is very talented, and she has a wonderful heart!

I Adore This Woman's Voice.......2006-12-29

This album is often likened to her previous 'This Mystery,' which probably explains my affinity for it. Til now, This Mystery has been a stand alone favorite by her. With Woven & Spun, I find a delightful return to lyrical substance and the voice that haunts. Even my husband listened to the whole thing WITHOUT me around, and that says something; he does not share my taste for Christian music.

Superb.......2005-10-28

This is the first Nicole Nordeman CD that I have bought. It is very good.

I was familiar with the songs 'Holy' and 'Legacy' before. Both are fantastic. In addition to those, there are several other very good songs on this CD. Nicole has a beautiful voice that she combines with compelling lyrics and a strong Christian message. Another song that I particularly like here is "I Am" which really speaks to the way that God is with us all the time -through good times and bad.

Although this is my first CD of hers, it won't be the last. I really recommend this both in terms of message and sound.

No Doubt, one of the best Contemporary Christian recordings..........2005-09-07

I have allof Nichole's albums, but her latest one "Brave", and although all of her work is always beautiful, thoughtful, haunting, and wonderfully and refreshingly very Christian, this work is undoubtedly her best.

What sets this apart from her other recordings for me, is that in "Wide Eyed", her style wasn't quite as developed, and her voice wasn't as rich as it is now, although the song-writing was top-notch.! In "This Mystery", it has some wonderful lyrics and singing, but some of the songs sound to typical of Contemporary Christian music to me. And with "Woven and Spun" all these elements were gone, leaving only the beautiful and most flawless music I've heard in a long time. The song-writing is top-notch, the lyrics are amazing and awe-inspiring, the vocals are georgeous, and her piano playings takes the forefront on many of the songs, which really gives her own own flavor that is unique and distinctive to her music.

Personally, my favorite tracks on this record are:

Track 1, Holy: A beautiful picture of a woman giving her life to the Lord.

Track 2, Mercies New: A beautiful picture and true example of God's mercies...

Track 3, Healed: My ABSOLUTE favorite on the disc, it gives a very poetical example of what God did on the cross, and how he heals our pain with his wounds, and changes us from within, conforming us to his image.

Track 6, In Your Eyes: The best cover of Peter Gabriel's classic I've ever heard, turning it into a Christian classic. :D

Track 9, Take me as I am: A beautiful picture of how the Lord takes us just as were, he washes our past away and makes us new.

Well, truth be told, there's NOT a single bad track here, their ALL georgeous, these are just my "personal" favorite's, no doubt you'll have you're own favorite's, but I hope this inspire's you to listen to Nichole Nordeman, and seek out the truth and word of the Lord.

God Bless ~Amy
