The album starts off with the song called "The Conversation". The song starts off with a mellow tone with Gina's soft voice carrying throughout the song. This song is a good example of what Gina Kaz is vocally capable of. There is the soft side of her voice and also hits a few high notes as well. I find that "The Conversation" sets the tone and mood for the entire album, with most of the songs following the same format. 

"We Can Take Care Of Each Other" is the third song on the album. This was the first song that caught my attention as I first started skipping through the songs. The intro is what caught my attention. It was the guitar picking at the start of the song was what caught my attention. After about a minute the song picks up a little bit of speed, then the song slows down to the tempo as the start of the song, but to finish out the song it finishes out with the tempo after a minute into the song. If I had to pick my favourite song on the album this would be the song. 

"Strength" is a song that could have a hidden meaning inside of the song. This song to me showcases Gina Kaz many talents or her "Strength". She can play the piano and showcases her vocal talents. Also I find that the song lyrics are written with thoughtful and meaningful words. 

"You Are Near" appears to be my least favourite song on the album. It is my least favourite mostly because of the starting of the song. Gina's voice doesnt fit in with the guitar at the starting of the song. Also throughout the song Gina's voice doesnt seem to fit in well with the speed of the background music, her voice also doesnt follow the speed of the flow for the song. I find that the flow of the album stops for this song but then picks up after the song is over. 

Gina Kaz's For You has also made an impression on the film industry with the sampling of a couple of her songs in independent films. For You is a good sophomore album to follow her debut album Decipher.
