“All That Really Matters" is Kim's fourth full length studio album produced by Grammy® nominated producer Jon Evans. The songs speak to the arc of human emotions and experiences from loss and betrayal, social consciousness and the most important of all…love.
The 10 song album includes 8 original songs and 2 cover songs.
“$20 Bill - For George Floyd”
Shortly after the murder of George Floyd, singer/songwriter Tom Prasada-Rao was moved to write this song.
I was deeply touched by the poignant simplicity of his lyrics and their power to capture this horrific moment that ultimately sparked a movement. Tom invited a handful of artists to contribute our versions to his compilation project with all proceeds to benefit the Black Lives Matter Survival Fund. Sadly, Tom passed away before he could realize his vision, but I chose to release my version to help keep his song alive.
Tom’s words force us to see how the brutality against one black man is representative of the ongoing systemic disease of racism that continues to plague our society.
I also chose to cover the iconic and timeless “Both Sides Now” (Joni Mitchell).
My mom was my most significant musical influence, instilling a lifetime love and appreciation for storytelling through song. When I was young, she and I used to love to sing Judy Collins’ version of this iconic Joni Mitchell tune. And like many timeless songs, the joy of singing this song lives on when I sing it with my older daughter, Rachel. I love how Jon Evans’ gentle yet bold orchestration lifts and carries the song on its little journey from the past, to the present and on to the future.
“The album 'All That Really Matters' has a very modern day 'Tapestry' sound.”
- John Shea, Host Almost Famous WATD
