True North Review

As both a multiple-award-winning artist of Christian pop music and composer of modern hymns, Twila Paris walks in grace, surrounding her audience with light and abundant joy. With True North, her first adult contemporary recording in a handful of years, Paris continues this journey of servitude. Produced by Charlie Peacock, this collection of songs thoroughly integrates scriptural tenets, modern musical phrasing, sparkling band arrangements, and Paris's clear-water vocals. Never showy or overly admonishing, these pleasant litanies steer a course of clarity and thematic artistry toward the presence of God within everyday experiences, worship, and spiritual growth. Violins dance, cellos and Hammond organ add texture, piano and acoustic guitar chords circle warmly round layered harmonies and understated melody. Elegant and simple in its wisdom, True North benevolently beckons the listener home.
