Shelley Cherkis is an artist & enigma on the cutting edge of the periphery. Her deliberate sometimes Lo-Fi approach can be quite deceiving in it’s complexity; & her lyrically revealing content mesmerize as they hypnotize the listener with sonic panache

Her new work “Playmate” is an exposition of pop charm & sassy. This cut is a superb example of the craft of Shelley Cherkis. Her intriguing magnetic appeal is irrepressible in it’s positive allurement. More so, she has the ability to shift between musical styles & keep you on your feet; Along with Producer/Engineer Carl Glover, who has worked with TLC & Madonna

“Revolution” is a ghostly epiphany of a song. With a poignant message & cyber-undercurrent that morphs hip hop & electronica into a new & vibrant hybrid that makes one stand up & take notice. This cut simply has a vibration to it that goes straight for the cerebral jugular. A lyrical juggernaut of content that stings in it’s take on the politically correct present times in America. This song is a somnambulist stunner, sure to wake one up out of sleep & complacency

“See Ya” slinks it’s way through the shadow with a lo-fi groove; Where as “Devil On My Shoulder” house beats it’s way into a subterranean mode. Up & down, day & night, who can say what’s wrong or right

“I Will Chose Love” spotlights a lighthouse at the end of a tunnel of love, that is at once plaintive & melancholy in it’s altruism. Fusing Adult Contemporary pop & R&B reflections in it’s balladry & nuance

“Till I Have You” is a tale of romantic obsession that we can all relate to at one time or another. Coupled with the pop reversions of retro style, “Loneliest Places” reminds us of some tunes that reside in the back of our minds from yester-year that bring back to mind fond memories

Shelley Cherkis travels down a musical path that explores her expanding craft & journey. Painted in pastel colors of mood & memory that are forever now in her expressive ability to fascinate & animate
