AMG Review of Kiss of Heaven

Ashleigh Kittle Slater
All Music Guide

Darlene Zschech, worship leader and producer of Hillsongs' worship albums, released her solo project Kiss of Heaven in October 2003. For Zschech, this album is a more personal expression of those things she holds dear -- the Lord, her family, and music -- than her previous live worship projects. With the pop album, Zschech has a sound and style comparable to Jaci Velasquez. The project, which includes 14 tracks, features new songs such as "Everything About You" as well as a cover of U2's "Walk On" and rearrangements of favorites "Shout to the Lord" and the title track. It also includes the hymn "Beautiful Savior," which Zschech has brought into the 21st century with updated chord progressions.
