As a Jesus Culture worship leader, Kim Walker-Smith has galvanized thousands with her dynamic stage presence. On Home, she teams up with husband Skyler Smith for a more intimate project that might take some of her fans by surprise. The album’s emphasis on acoustic instrumentation and sparse vocal harmonies gives it a warm, inviting glow that underscores its themes of faith and family. Kim sings with sweetness and restraint, complementing Skyler's smoky vocal tones like satin and burlap. The songs here are tender and poetic, matched with melodies that recall classic folk and traditional hymns. Tracks like “Face to Face,” “Forever Praise," and “Oh Beautiful” have a crystalline purity to their sound, built around guitars, banjos, and strings. Flashes of Jesus Culture’s more expansive approach can be heard on the atmospheric “Relentless Pursuit." “My One and Only” and the title tune celebrate both domestic and spiritual happiness as Kim and Skyler effortlessly merge voices. Home‘s heartfelt simplicity and devotion comes with a modern sensibility that should appeal to any worship music fan.
