Are you accused or beaten down? Want to dream again? Reach your destiny? DO NOT BE AFRAID. Faith is moving without knowing. No one can touch you, nothing can stop you. You are UNBREAKABLE. All you need to do -- is trust.
Strong words, yet these are the very thoughts behind the title track of Fireflight's latest offering Unbreakable. And they just might be on to something. Who among us hasn't felt the need to dream again? To move past the things that beat us down, to feel (dare we say it?) unstoppable? It's these daring sentiments that urged music execs at the NBC network to license "Unbreakable" for its fall promos of primetime TV show "Bionic Woman," making the inspiring soundtrack into one of the definitive rock anthems of the popular hit series. "Unbreakable," based on the classic gospel story of the adulteress set to be stoned, examines the woman's empowered mindset after the tables are turned on her accusers.
"The people in charge were ready to kill her, and Jesus speaks up for her, changes their minds and makes them feel ashamed for accusing her," explains Dawn Richardson, the group's fiery lead singer. "How would you feel if you were the woman? She knows she's guilty, and yet she's suddenly free and given a second chance." True to Richardson's resoluteness, lyrics from the band's sophomore project capture that same spirit of renewed strength.
Like the title track, Unbreakable addresses the many trying circumstances that can strike one's soul. "The Love We Had Before" examines the disagreements that can swallow a relationship whole, while "Brand New Day" addresses the traps of depression and the power to move past them. "Forever" takes a more somber tone with admissions of loneliness and isolation, yet "You Gave Me a Promise" exudes defiant hope against a backdrop of Siamese Dream-like guitar layers. "Wrapped In Your Arms," the album's acoustic closer, ties all the themes together with one final statement of faith and triumph.

Fireflight does it again| Posted November 06, 2009
Unbreakable is an album that everyone needs to hear. Fireflight surprisingly crafted the songs on this album in just 6 months. It took 6 years for them to write the songs found on their debut album. That's a great achievement for them. It pays off as this album pulls away a bit from the hard rock roots of their debut and into more poppy territory but still maintaining their hard rock roots. With beautiful lyrics that are filled with hope and optimism, driving guitar riffs, and a goal in mind, no wonder this album has become one of the best Christian rock albums to come out in the last decade.

Girl singers rock| Posted November 19, 2008
this girl singer can rock out!!! I have seen them live, and they are awesome!! I love guy singers in a band, but it is something about a girl singer that I can truly relate to. Her voice is amazing, and their lyrics are so true for today's youth. The meaning behind every song is quite evident throughout the song. You can tell their hearts!

This sophomore album isn't bad but it's not awesome. I really like Unbreakable but that's about it. It's not like it's bad...all the lyrics are good and I like to listen to it from time to time but I can't wait to see what they come out with next.

Amazing| Posted September 06, 2008
Fireflight has done it again, they have literally broken the sound barrier with this sophmore release. The guitars and bass are tighter, the vocals are amazing, and the words cut right into your heart. I highly recommend that anyone should buy this cd because words don't do this album any justice.
The best album i bought this year.| Posted August 29, 2008
By far. Past the fact that the music is technically amazing, the lyrics are extremely powerful, and definitly what I needed in this season of my life. I'm not even going to choose my favorite songs, because i'd be naming off the whole album...its awesome
