The Indian-born, Australia-based singer, songwriter and pianist is here with her debut worship album. The simple yet beautiful set feels like it has been completely stripped back with just Nalini's powerful and frank singing accompanied by her skilful piano playing. It's gentle with sweet melodies that make the tracks feel like lullabies with strength in the vocals and messages without resorting to the language of Zion. It is obvious that Nalini is classically trained as her piano playing shines and even occasionally overshadows the singing. However the singing gives another layer to the peaceful atmosphere conveyed. Some of the tracks here were released in instrumental form on Nalini's 'Piano' album while new songs like "Do You Know" portray emotions of love and questions that don't need answers. "Thru Child's Eyes" is another soft song that draws the listener into its slow melody. It is an album of quiet reflection.
