Talk About It
Nicole C. Mullen
Word Records

Nicole C. Mullen's long awaited sophomore release is finally here. It is everything one could expect and more! A fitting album title for what Nicole encourages of many others to do: Talk about (it) His grace, mercy, and self sacrifice for US. "Talk About It," is a compilation of selectively arranged hits in the making.

From a creative storytelling style and soothing ballads to soul-stirring urban pop and a tender prayer, Nicole's knack for diversified music shines right through. The song and prayer, "When Heaven Calls," offers deep, insightful truth to the fact that upon death we must answer to Him. It is reality at its best. Hold on to the Lord who takes away our sin!

"The Ring" is Nicole's "big sister" talk to all young people out there on the importance of saving oneself until marriage. "Black Light" addresses the triumph of the African American for freedom through the Civil Rights movement. Songs like this enhance Nicole's ability to bind cultures together across the world. "Come Unto Me," is another soul moving, spirit lifting song comparable in every way to her infamous song, "Redeemer."

Turn it up a notch with soul-stirrer urban pop song, "Talk About It." As Nicole writes in this song, "Let the Redeemed of the Lord say so." Amen, Nicole!
