Isaac Roosevelt and Timbhai's latest single, "Home," is both an auditory and emotional experience. The duo, who shot to fame in 2013 after appearing on The Voice of Germany, team up for a deeply personal yet relatable anthem that poses the question of what it means to be Home.
"Home" is a blend of R&B, soul, country, and electronic influences that showcases the duo's prowess at juxtaposing genres. Roosevelt's velvety vocals soar freely over Timbhai's finely detailed production; the two maintain an equilibrium of warmth and modern edge. "Home" lush melodies summon the familiar comfort of a Lionel Richie classic while keeping themselves fresh with modern sonic filigree.
"Home" is inspired by Roosevelt's own experience of being an American abroad, the ache of distance, and the draw of Home. His affecting delivery transforms these themes into an experience that goes straight to the heart, making it impossible not to think of one's own experiences of yearning and return.
"Home" is a whole experience. Timbhai's production layers organic instrumentation with understated electronics, and the mood is intimacy turned cinematic. Every note, lyric, and beat is charged with sincerity, reminding us yet again that Roosevelt and Timbhai are a musical powerhouse channeling a genuine connection.
With Home, the duo doesn't simply ask you to listen. They ask you to feel. Far from Home or right where you belong, "Home" will remain long after the final note has floated away.
