World and so many more… Sheree concluded, “These were albums that  ushered me into my young adult years and inspired me...Songs of love and  songs with a social conscience are as relevant today. Listening to thought  provoking lyrics...Bathing in it...Taking it in...a timeless  

adventure...remembering...and wanting to capture the same kind of vibe in  this, my latest musical effort, Messages From The Spirit: The Collective..,  really was a labour of love.”.  

This distinctive and timely project includes a song with her long-time  collaborator, Grammy nominated singer, songwriter, composer, Patrice Rushen,  titled, I Choose Love along with its world premiere video release.

Notes For Editors: 

The accompanying book “Messages From The Spirit” also features art by the  internationally acclaimed artist Charles Bibb. His work features in museums,  galleries, organisations and homes of many collectors, displays a deep sense of  spirituality, majesty, dignity, strength and grace; a perfect marriage with the  new project by Sheree Brown. Bibbs’ work is done in a combination of realistic  and larger than life interpretations of contemporary subjects which are  ethnically rooted.
