Love Out Loud CD

On the heels of her ten year anniversary celebration of her debut platinum selling album, Heavenly Place, Jaci Velasquez returned to the studio to write and record her brand new album Love Out Loud. Teaming up once again with Mark Heimermann (the producer of her first three cds), Jaci takes you on a musical journey of hope, healing and love. The lyrics to the title track "Love Out Loud" speak of putting one's words into action to show others God's love through us. Features the singles "Love Out Loud" and "Jesus (The Way)", as well as "Por Escrito," a Spanish duet with Nic Gonzales of Salvador.

OUR LOVE IS LOUD

Her first studio album since 2005, Love Out Loud has been hailed as Jaci Velasquez’s “comeback album.” Indeed, the beloved Latin singer sidestepped the spotlight in 2005 and left many fans wondering when she would sing again.

With Love Out Loud, Jaci makes a strong return to the music circuit, offering several promising singles. “Nothing But Sky” resounds with her signature vocal and an utterly singable chorus, which Jaci says, “reflects the journey I have been on and where I am today.” Other notable tracks are “Jesus (The Way),” where delicate vocals carry the worship ballad and “A Likely Story,” a sweet narrative of Velasquez’s courtship with husband Nic Gonzalaz from Salvador. Jaci’s husband also joins her on “Por Escrito,” which offers listeners a breathtaking Spanish duet between the two. As the strongest and most daring track, it showcases their strong vocals, backed solely by a simple Latin-inspired guitar. Unfortunately, the zesty “Tango” is a bit too daring, with a chorus that says, “I think it’s time to tango/oh, oh/Sometimes you need to tango.” Even with its fiery Latin sound and Jaci’s sultry vocal, the song is oddly out of place on the otherwise strong disc.

Still, fans will most likely be delighted with the fresh songs from Love Out Loud.

Most of the songs on this CD are beautiful and glorify GOD in one way or another. I definitely recommend this to all her fans and even those who are thinking of buying her CD for the first time. I do admit that her voice is not as strong as it usually is, but it's probably because she was pregnant during the recording. The songs in this album are full of passion and the message that each one carries is clear. Some of my favorite songs are "nothing but sky "A likely Story" "Jesus (The Way)" and "Love out Loud". I also think that "It's not you it's me" is nicely done. May God continue to bless Jaci, and may her songs be anointed to bring people to Christ. God BLess.

Disappointing. Not as good as her previous efforts due to lack of vocal power (from her being pregnant, as others have mentioned). The songs sound alike and there is nothing that really stands out.

I wouldnt necessarily described this as Jaci's best or her comeback. Nothing really stands out much from this album. The songs are wonderfully written, but Jaci was pregnant during the recording which explains a lot of the vocals. She holds back too much and it isn't the best. Don't get me wrong its a beautiful album, but it does not contain the next radio hit or anything in that sort. The problem was also due to that fact that this was made under her own record label, which explains that it lacked the big sounding stuff that this artist's previous music has to offer.

Jaci's voice in this album does not have the dynamic range and power that it had in her earlier albums, but this album is still very enjoyable to listen to - much better than her 'Beauty Has Grace' album.

This is an awesome, awesome album. I think this is one of her best albums yet! It really speaks to me. Jaci really shares her heart in this studio project.Her album discusses marriage, family life, and most importantly her relationship with God. Musically, it is a really good mix. You have contemparary, pop, latin,and electric sounds.This is an album you will want to play over and over again. This is a great cd.Whether you're a long time fan or just getting into Christian music, this is a great album. God Bless You.
