 “Nicole is such a joy to work with and a true woman of God,” said the album’s producer Ed Cash. “‘Holy Captivated’ was the first song she sent me, and I knew immediately that I wanted to be a part of her record. The words to this song just take me to the throne room.” Riding on the momentum of Captivated, “Holy Captivated” is Mullen’s second single from the album produced by Cash. Written by Mullen and Antonio Neal, the song features Mullen’s heartfelt vocals backed by equally powerful lyrics. "Holy Captivated is a song that I began to write one morning as I was waking up,” explained Mullen. “Without sounding "hyper –spiritual," it was as if my spirit was singing it before my mind could craft it. The song is a declaration of the awesomeness of God, regardless of our emotional climate. He is good in every season of life, even when horrible things happen. He is worthy of worship when our lives are experiencing the freshness of spring. He is worthy of worship in the hard winter seasons. He is worthy of worship in death and in life. He is HOLY, HOLY, HOLY!” Nicole C. Mullen's Captivated, and her life-long commitment to ministry are key reasons why Worship Leader Magazine named the recording one of the best of the best this year and why she is being honored as an inductee into the Christian Music Hall of Fame in November. We are very pleased to induct Nicole C. Mullen into the Christian Music Hall of Fame,” said Christian Music Hall of Fame Chairman Andy Woolard. “Her career spans 20 years since her first release of uplifting and encouraging people and praising our One True God. Her Multiple Dove Awards and GRAMMY ® nominations, along with continued touring, show us Nicole is worthy of our recognition and induction. We pray Nicole continues to be an encouragement and has many more years of spreading the word of God through her music." Nicole C. Mullen Rocks Seeonk  In two years, the organization has granted 21 wishes, according to Executive Director Dana Hrabcsak. "We rely on donations and volunteers to grant their wishes," she said, noting Disney World, bedroom makeovers, computers, and shopping sprees are included in the requests. According to Hrabcsak, the first wish was granted in October of 2009. "We granted a wish to a young man named Brian's to go to the Demi Lovato concert at the Dunkin Donuts Center," she said. "We sent him in style with a new outfit, limo ride, dinner before the show, and a surprise meet and greet with Demi herself." Volunteer and supporter, Anita Serouchyk credits her husband Spencer with the idea to bring Nicole C. Mullen to Seekonk. "He asked me to get tickets to a Mullen concert and when we couldn't find one he jokingly added maybe she would come here to do a Children's Wish Fundraiser." So Serouchyk sent off an email to Mullen's manager and received an email a few weeks later that she was interested. Six months later Serouchyk was at TF Green Airport to pick up Mullen. This event not only brought Mullen but Dan Macaulay, who drove in from Connecticut but his band few in from his home in Canada to provide the opening worship for those in the audience. Macaulay has many accolades including winner of Canada’s 2007 Shai awards for “Worship Album of the Year” and “Male Soloist of the Year." Chris Pfeffer, an organizer from FCC, also arranged to provide people an opportunity to become tested for a possible bone marrow match. Ann Hantschart, manned the sign up table to collect the forms and collect the check swabs, for DKMS. It only takes a moment to see if you can be a match to save a life. If you register with DKMS they cover the cost of appoximately $65 for each test. They fundraise and accept donations but do not bill the insurance companies for the fee. Nicole C.
