Amen is Paula Cole's third studio album. It is officially credited to "The Paula Cole Band." The album was quite a departure stylistically from the prior album This Fire and was met with mixed reviews. Perhaps due to poor promotion the album failed to match the success of "This Fire", only selling 116,000 copies to date. The album did score a moderate Adult Contemporary radio format hit with, "I Believe In Love" peaking at #22. A remix made for danceclubs and Rhythmic radio format peaked at #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play and also attained moderate airplay.
