"When I first emerged on the scene as a recording artist, there was no smooth jazz but there was support for my music on R&B and Urban radio and that support has only continued to grow," says Waters, who in recent years has enjoyed considerable airplay on Urban AC radio with his projects like Streetwize and Tha’ Hot Club, which reinvent chart-topping hip hop, R&B and reggae hits with a jazzy twist. For Waters his formula is simple. “I make music for everybody from eight to 80! There are several ingredients that are integral parts of my music mix. There’s got to be a perfect blend of romance and groove and a singable melody that catches the ear.” Kim Waters’ 2004 CD, In the Name of Love, held a spot in the top 25 of Billboard Contemporary Jazz Charts for six months and stayed on that chart for an entire year.

The lyrics to Kim Waters's song, "A Love Like This," express a deep and intense romantic love. The first verse begins with the declaration, "I love you, neoreul saranghae," which translates to "I love you" in Korean. The lyrics then continue to refer to the throbbing heart and the words that were always kept hidden. The emotions of the singer have always been kept inside but it's clear that he is now ready to express them. The song is a portrayal of a love that was previously hidden but has now been revealed.
As the song progresses into the second verse, the singer expresses that he likes his partner as well. It's clear that their connection goes beyond just "love" but they share an affectionate bond that the singer sees as enormous. He declares, "eonjena pyeonanhi naegyeote nal jikyeojuneun geureon neol," which means that their love will always protect him and that their bond will never disappear.
Throughout the song, the verses repeat the phrase, "achimimyeon nunbushige nareul bichwojuneun neul haessalgateun neoneun," which translates to "you always shine on me brightly like the morning sun." The repetition creates a sense of stability and a foundation for the deep love that is expressed in the lyrics.
