Cheraki’s vocal tour-de-force is fully apparent on songs like “Rain” and “Cascade”, where she paints an intimate and sometimes heartbreaking image, while the songs “To The Sun” & “Golden Years” draw us deep into the realm of her sensuality. “Shades of She” is a story – an artful explosion of the complicated nature of the feminine supported by the smooth and polished productions of Lowgritt. Whether you want to call it ‘Deep Pop’ or Neo Soul- the genre isn’t what matters. This release appeals to a range of listeners with big hooks and rich melodies, while maintaining a depth and originality that speaks to the soul.
