“Far
above and beyond the average ‘girl-with-a-guitar’
singer/songwriter”
Sook-Yin Lee, DNTO, CBC Radio One
Sheree’s new album is a mature and confident follow-up
to her first album, “Hold Still”. Titled “Red
Circled Heart,” the album will capture your heart and
take you through a range of emotions - all the while holding
your hand and telling you it is going to be ok. It’s
an honest look at the way things really are, and the realities
and joys we all share.
Lyrically, Sheree’s thoughful songs touch upon different
ideas like winters on the wet west coast (“Winter”),
persevering through hard times in relationships (“Marriage”),and
the won-ders of the natural world (“Flash Photography”).
The song “Flood” is a beautifully crafted journey
about the little things in life that make it tough to remember
the brighter sides life can bring.
Red Circled Heart is a significant evolution from her debut.
The new album was recorded at Buena Vista Audio in Langley,
B.C. by Jonathan Anderson (RADIOGRAM, STABILO) and delves
deeper into sonics and arrangements than its predeces-sor.
Likely to surprise some fans, the album hits higher highs
with the intense “Soldier” and lower lows with
the spare and sombre “Pressed Flowers.”
This time out Sheree recorded with her band that has been
playing together for the past year, rather than bringing in
studio players, and the result is a more collaborative and
dis-tinct effort. Red Circled Heart is an assured and wide-eyed
album, which draws you in and is bound to change lives and
appeal to a broad audience.
Sheree is gaining fans on the west coast among listeners and
artists alike. Sheree has spent significant time touring in
west-ern Canada, playing for audiences in Vancouver, Calgary,
Edmonton, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Minneapolis MN, and many other
cities along the way.
