The former model abandons the high-energy pop of her earlier career for an adult sound. Motherhood brings a new source of inspiration, reflected in many of the songs. "Who Hung The Moon" is a child's question bring Kim back to the wonder of creation in a jazz-tinged piece of MOR! There's more jazz when she turns in a stunning lounge singer performance on "The Sound Of Your Voice". Clearly the adult Kim is pushing out the musical boat and enjoying herself! One ballad stands out, the beautiful "Remember Me", which is a communion song and has a touch of the Whitney's about it. Just a gorgeous song. The duet with husband Gary Koreiba "Amazing Love For Me" is another song born out of Kim's experience of parenting, this lime a realisation of how much the Father gave to us in sending Jesus. "Nothing In All The World" is God demonstrating how nothing can separate us from his love and the strong acoustic pop of "I Fall In Love" is Kim's response. If you like pop in the style of the recent 4Him offering, this will appeal.
