I don’t frequently listen to Christian music, so when I was asked if I’d like to review Nichole Nordeman’s new CD, The Unmaking, I said yes.
I was pleasantly surprised.
The CD has 6 songs:
- The Unmaking
- Not to Us
- Name
- Love You More
- Something Out of Me
- Slow Down
The music ranged from slow and melodic to a light pop with a jazzy flair. Indeed, the melodies didn’t sound that much different than those I hear on my regular radio station.
What I enjoyed about the lyrics was the resounding sense of hope. This music can cheer you up if you’re feeling down, and it can help elevate your mood if you’re having a good day. The music would also blend nicely into the background if you have other things you need to do.
Nichole Nordeman says of the new CD, “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.”

I loved the part about the story behind the song. Especially this part: “He wanted to sit with me in the silence and dust, after the wrecking ball, and put his arms around me for a while. He asked for vulnerability. And for honesty. I was embarrassed about the rubble and started to explain right away. He didn’t want to hear my plans for improvement. He had no interest in my blueprints. He wanted to hold hands and dry my tears. To help me understand that the rubble is where we have to start. The unmaking is first. We sat there for a long, long time until I started to get it.” kristiedonelson(at)gmail(dot)com Thank you.
