Everyday People by Nicole C. Mullen

2004
Nicole C. Mullens delivers exactly what you'd expect: an album of pure gospel/R&B funk.
On the cover: The album opens with a cover of Sly & The Family Stone's "Everyday People." That's the "different strokes for different folks" song, and it's a fun throwback to set the theme.
Best line: "I like cute ugly kinda shoes," from the 'it's OK to be yourself' funk anthem "This This."
Honestly: Everyday People lacks a soaring number like "Redeemer" or "Call on Jesus" from her previous albums.
Nod: The album earned a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Contemporary Gospel Album, so that's got to be worth something.

Bottom line: Her voice ranges from subtle to sassy to soaring, sometimes within the same song, all with funky beats keeping the pace. It's time to get your groove on.
