Soul Hymns - Full Album

Soul Hymns is the tenth record release from Isla Vista Worship, our little family/collective of artists & worshippers within the 1-square-mile city of Isla Vista, CA.

Our sound is typically a colorful array, gleaming with the flavors of individuals who are a part of the worship movement at the given time. The current catalogue consists of Acoustic Worship, Synth Pop, Indie Rock, and Alt Rock.
The Soul Hymns record is the first Soul/R&B project from our beachtown worship team.

The pilot of the record, Mark Barlow, is our Chicagoan ‘blue eyed soul,” easily recognized by his buttery chord progressions and fireplace falsetto. He’s best known for his work on “So In Love” from our most recent record, “Isla Vista Worship 2.”

Closing up an 8 year process that began with a dream of creating a soulful, personal worship EP, Barlow finally brings his heart to the table with a minimalist mindset. With mostly down-tempo and keys-and-percussion driven orchestration, Soul Hymns is heavily informed by the styles of Daniel Caesar, Honne, Tom Misch, Vulfpeck, Kiefer, Sam Smith, and Mac Ayres.

Barlow describes Soul Hymns as a "humble expression of familiarity with our heavenly Father; a meek, inviting musical experience to aide time spent surrendering, basking in God’s kindness & mercy."
