It was released on September 16, 2003 through Sparrow Records and was produced by Lynn Nichols, Robert "Aurel M" Marvin, Damon Riley and Tedd T.

"Different Kind Of FREE'" marks their departure from the bubblegum pop music of their two previous albums, in favor of a pop rock sound.

Background

Main article: You Get Me

ZOEgirl's Mix of Life was released on September 24, 2002. This remix album's Trip Rock Mix of "I Believe" foreshadowed the girl group's transition from bubblegum pop music to pop rock music.[8]

During the autumn of 2002, Chrissy Conway-Katina started working on a draft for the lead single "You Get Me" with her future husband James Katina. Its chorus remained the same in the finished version of the song. [9]

On February 2, 2003, an animated banner appeared on ZOEgirl's official website, encouraging visitors to "listen to the [Trip Rock] remix" of ZOEgirl's hit single "I Believe".[10] Those who participated in this activity were instructed to listen to the original, pop version of "I Believe". Afterwards, they listened to the Trip Rock remix of "I Believe". Finally, they would comment on the remix, indicating whether or not they enjoyed it.[11]

The album's official release date was announced on May 22, 2003 via the group's official website. [12] "You Get Me" was released to radio stations on June 22, 2003. On July 15, 2003, ZOEgirl announced the album's title: "Different Kind Of FREE".[1] The lead single "You Get Me" was released to retail stores on July 24, 2003. [13]

Release

Different Kind Of FREE peaked on the Billboard 200 at #149. It reached #9 on Billboard's Christian Albums chart, and #4 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers Chart.

Reception

Despite the girl group's musical transition, the album received generally favourable reviews among Christian music critics. Jesus Freak Hideout stated in their review: "ZOEgirl strips away the electronic sugar and spice to offer up the smoothest transition from pop to pop/rock since Rebecca St. James made the same move in the mid-nineties." CCM Magazine said that "Different Kind Of FREE offers plenty of good advice on ways to be different and, in this case, godly kinds of girls."[14]
