For those lucky enough, the thing that makes a house a home is the person or people in it, not the place itself. This song is about how seeing that person can feel like &#8216;coming home.&#8217; It&#8217;s so easy to get wrapped up in the day-to-day goings on of life, and overlook what really matters; if you&#8217;ve got that person in your life, never go a day without telling them you love them! As an impactful melody, we just felt we had to match the sentiment of the song with the gospel choir in the recording. I&#8217;m so pleased how it turned out, and I&#8217;d like to think this is one of the best songs I&#8217;ve ever written.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8216;Home&#8217; marks James&#8217; second release of the year, following up the disco-funk-inspired smash &#8216;The Way You Move.&#8217; The escalating sound and breathtaking choir certify &#8216;Home&#8217; as a playlist must-add for the upcoming season.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As mentioned, Kris James is returning to our stages, as he joins up with international superstar Will Young on his upcoming commemorative 20 Years Tour.
