Album Review: The Unmaking by Nichole Nordeman

About the new album The Unmaking:

“Before things in our lives can be resurrected and given new life, certain things must die.  Before beauty blooms in spring, roots must do the hard work under the hard frozen soil of winter.  Before you renovate and re-build, you tear down the parts of the structure that are weak or damaged or dangerous.  Before we make, we must unmake.”  Nichole Nordeman

Has it really been a decade since Nichole Nordeman has released an album? True story. Although she wrote 17 songs for “The Story,” The Unmaking is her first solo work since 2005.

And what a refreshing listen it is. Although there are only six tracks, I told a friend that the album is a perfect accompaniment to devotional time. No matter how fast the song, each lyric is a reminder of who God is. I was completely uplifted by each song.

“The Unmaking” is probably my favorite song. I could relate to the words and it was catchy. To me it was a testament to what God can do when we surrender. “Not to Us” features Plumb, so that was a pleasant surprise. “Name” is again another reminder who God is. It’s an inspiring song without sounding like all the other songs about God out there. “Love You More” is a power song for exactly what I told my friend, devotional time. It’s filled with His truth and holiness. Simply beautiful. “Something Out of Me” is another one that I can’t help it, it’s perfect for devotional time. The last song, “Slow Down,” is a mama’s heart for her children. When I reviewed this, it was the first day of pre school and kindergarten for my friends, and my oldest’s first day of senior year. “Slow Down” definitely tugged at my heart.

I wished the album had contained a couple more songs but—the quality is so top-notch and it’s so good to hear from her, I just hit re-play. I hope you do, too.
