Paula Cole gives a powerful performance on this stirring dialogue with humanity and the divine. She's clearly done a lot of thinking and growing up since the release of THIS FIRE, and as a result offers a previously unmatched emotional candor. Veteran drummer Jay Bellerose joins her again with his complementing touch, while Kevin Barry provides all manner of guitar work to complete the core of the Paula Cole Band. Barry's gleaming long-tones, wah-wah riffs, and blues licks constantly add color to a production that rings with echoes of '70s and early-'80s soul and a hip-hop sensibility. While AMEN often moves to a soft, light groove, the lyrics are anything but. From the heartbreaking scenarios of "Be Somebody" to the transcendent declarations of "Rhythm Of Life" and "Pearl," Cole's self-penned tunes are awash in talk of God and pressing questions of faith.
