Are they an R&B/pop vocal group? Are they a Christian music outfit? The answer to both questions is an unqualified yes. Sure, these ladies may sing about the Lord, but the hip-hop-oriented production on THIS IS YOUR LIFE, bursting out with angular synth hooks, crisp percussion, and undeniably fresh sounds, gives Out of Eden the tools to compete with anyone this side of Destiny's Child in the infectious-pop stakes.

This is the kind of pop/theology juxtaposition that the rule of thumb throughout THIS IS YOUR LIFE.
