In a manner of speaking,
This Is Your Life is a second coming-out party for these three sisters,
Lisa Kimmey,
Andrea Kimey Baca, and
Danielle Kimmey, known as
Out of Eden. Gone is the syrupy,
pop-driven, adolescent sound of their previous recordings, replaced with a more mature, harder-edged,
R&B-flavored sound that does not relinquish their
pop base and works favorably with their unique vocal style. Along with the group's overall talent, this change in direction can also be attributed to the production process of
the Clemons Brothers,
Lee Jerkins,
A.J. Wolfe,
David Hackley,
Todd Collins,
Donnie Scantz, and
Jamie Portee, whose combined credits include work on projects by such musical heavyweights as
Toni Braxton,
Mary J. Blige,
Aaliyah, and
Jill Scott, among others. The music on this project captures the pulse of the current vibe in
urban music. The groove-filled tracks definitely make their presence felt here. Songs such as the up-tempo
"Different Now," the
funk-influenced
"Showpiece" and
"Paradise," and the
hip-hop-induced
"Day Like Today" (the latter featuring a guest appearance by
dc Talk member
Toby McKeehan) can compete with anything on the mainstream
urban music front. These young ladies show that they can also effectively handle a slow jam through their performance on the smooth-flowing
"All You Need." This project also shows that
Kimmey is one of Christian/
gospel music's top tunesmiths.
