Sherreece - An Inspired Singer/Songwriter!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 1, 2004 -- In recent years artists such as Creed, P.O.D., and Jars of Clay have brought new credibility to Christian rock by applying to studio recordings and live performances the sophisticated production values of the best secular artists. As a result, Christian rockers - both performers and their audiences - have learned how to be cutting edge without compromising their Christian beliefs.

Now, we can add to that list Sherreece (http://www.sherreece.com), a New Orleans-based singer and songwriter whose fiery self-produced CD shows that she has something to say and all the tools she needs to say it. In songs such as "When I Die," "Holy of Holies," "Change," "Where is the Love?", and "Wings," Sherreece backs her powerful contralto with expertly arranged and produced rock tracks, featuring her collaborator Byron Santo. It's a CD that demands to be heard.

Chief among her gifts is a voice that any diva would envy. Indeed, Sherreece studied voice for many years, and her arrangements have operatic and choral touches throughout, especially in "Wings" and "When I Die." It's a very physical sound, appropriately enough for a gym co-owner and certified instructor in cardio-kickboxing. In the driving, incantatory "Holy of Holies" she sounds like a veritable rock priestess ("You are the Holy of Holies/Nailed to the cross/You gave you life for me"). She notes: "People who are not performers have no idea how something like singing can drain you physically."

If Sherreece sounds driven, like a singer with a mission, it's because she is. "I feel God has chosen me to do this and there is no turning back. Most of my songs are really intended for people that may not have found or may not have made a commitment to Christ. This is what God wants me to do, to help people to realize what they are dealing with and that they can turn to Christ."

What is innovative about Shereece's music is how she melds psalm-like lyrics of spiritual transformation and Christian striving ("What is this darkness/In my life/That shadows over me/Where is the love/My heart is aching/Where is the love/My heart is breaking") with a full-bodied, modern, techno-savvy rock sound that would be equally at home on an arena stage or in a dance club. In fact, European audiences have been especially responsive to her rhythms, inspiring some DJs to produce dance-floor friendly remixes of her tracks.

"My songs easily adapt to different genres. I am very pleased that DJs from around the world have been interested in creating remixes of my songs. This way I can reach a larger audience. It's like planting seeds so people may listen and maybe turn to Christ as I did."
