NEARER, MY GOD, TO THEE | JAROM HANKS

Jarom Hanks was raised on two things: classic 90s R&B and the unwavering belief that music could bring people closer to Jesus Christ. From the moment he popped his first Boyz II Men cassette into his Walkman, he knew his destiny—testifying of the Savior through harmonies smoother than his dad’s old leather-bound scriptures.

Nearer, My God, to Thee is his tribute to faith, a reimagining of a sacred hymn through the lens of 90s slow jams. Think velvet harmonies, synth-infused chords, and a groove so deep you might just find yourself two-stepping your way into the celestial kingdom. It’s not just LDS Music—it’s a feeling, a late-night-drive kind of reflection that makes you realize how much you need the Savior, set to melodies that sound like they were recorded on the same mic used for every great 90s love ballad.

Jarom's journey to this moment started long before the first beat dropped. Growing up in the pews of a small chapel, he was the kid who sang a little too passionately in sacrament meeting, turning I Am a Child of God into an almost R&B power ballad. Years later, he’s still singing with the same passion—only now, the production is tighter, the harmonies richer, and the testimony even stronger.

This is LDS Music like you’ve never heard before. It's a groove-filled, faith-packed, smooth-vocal tribute to Jesus Christ that’ll have you closing your eyes, swaying, and—if you’re not careful—lifting one reverent hand in praise. Because if you’re gonna sing about getting Nearer, My God, to Thee, why not do it with a little 90s soul?
