Dream
Michelle Tumes
Sparrow Records

"Dream," contains Michelle Tumes' infamous bright and insightful lyrics. Fans of Michelle's classically unique, soft tones will experience a different slant on this new album, as Michelle expands into the more popular Christian pop genre. Fans of Rebecca St. James' 2000 release, "Transform," will find themselves quite satisfied with Michelle's new style.

Newly married and more recently relocated to California, these changes are joyfully reflected in Michelle's newest release. The album track titled "Dream" is a reflective song on discovering and living the dream that God has for us. "God of My Hope," is an ethereal song reminiscent of Michelle's previous musical style. While "Dream" is a very pleasant album, I find myself more attracted to her first album, "Listen." It will be interesting to see which direction, musically, she will take in the years to come.
