Anything you’d like to share about the project or the
process:
“So Good” was written after I looked back over the situations of life
and I realized that God was in control the whole time…He never left
me! He brought me through and “So Good” was the best way I could express
the feeling of gratitude I was experiencing!
Challenges (to completing or releasing the project) that had to be overcome: I had to overcome me and trust God for the next level for my music. I’m
not used to hearing my voice produced and with effects added, so hearing
it was a little weird at first and I started to go another direction.
I’m now glad I didn’t!
Advice for Aspiring Artists:
Definitely trust God’s direction for your sound…don’t try and sound like someone else.

Kim Pratt shared her own advice for aspiring artists: Make sure you are called to do this. Many have the talent, but just
because you can, doesn’t mean you should. Also make sure you have a
strong team around you naturally and spiritually. It may get hard
sometimes, but don’t give up! God rewards the diligent… ~ KimPratt
