Room to Breathe (2005)

Room to Breathe is the fourth studio album by the Christian girl group ZOEgirl, released on March 15, 2005 by Sparrow Records.

Room to Breathe continues ZOEgirl's pop rock sound as heard from their previous album Different Kind of Free. However, its two singles were not as successful as their past hits. The lead single, "About You," peaked at the Top 5 on the Christian radio charts and its second single "Scream" did moderately well. But unlike their previous albums, there were no music videos made to promote the album. Room to Breathe charted and peaked on the following Billboard album charts:

-#5 Top Christian Albums

-#1 Heatseekers Albums

-#108 Billboard 200 Albums

This is ZOEgirl's highest charting album to date as it peaked in higher positions on all three Billboard album charts, especially on the Heatseekers chart where it is their first number one album on that chart.

Robert Marvin and Josiah Bell, going collectively by their name Doubledutch, produced the majority of the album with Tedd T. producing three tracks, Mark Heimmerman produced the tracks "Scream" and "Dead Serious" and Shaun Shankel produced "About You." This was ZOEgirl's final release on Sparrow Records.
