content: In moments of creativity, you can only hope to put as much of yourself as possible in your work. That's what Paula Cole has achieved with "Amen". In this eclectic mix of funk, pop tunes, and bluesy numbers, you not only hear and feel her struggle for love, inner peace, political righteousness, and a life of spiritual meaning - you want it too. Honestly, there are a few "fillers" in the album, hence the 4 star rating. But with evocative tracks such as "I Believe in Love", "Amen", "Pearl" and "Be Somebody", these "fillers" are forgiven. In short, Paula Cole offers a musical reflection of herself and ourselves as well in our struggle for harmony in our personal relationships, our humanitarian responsibility in the world, and our spiritual balance in the universe.
