Very likely the most amped-up female vocal group in the Christian arena, ZOEgirl cuts loose urban grooves that fit right into the core of today's favorite pop sounds. This trio is introducing itself to the world with this self-titled debut record--and more than 100 concert dates with Clay Crosse, Nichole Nordeman, and Carmen. The word zoe, which means "life," is a symbol of ZOEgirl's vision to portray the passion and beauty of a life that is in harmony with Christ. And with youth as a target audience, they have put their passion into songs about issues that affect the lives of teens. The centerpiece of this project is the pristine vocal energy, which strikes a perfect balance between playfulness and warmth. As well, ZOEgirl's gifted crafting of catchy, anthemic melodies adds an element of euphoria to the message that they carry. --Israel Button
