NEW MUSIC FROM KIERRA SHEARD 2ND WIN, FROM HER HIGHLY ANTICIPATED ALBUM, GRACELAND, ON iTUNES NOW
buzzz worthy. . .
An exuberant first single, “2nd
Win,” is available now on iTunes. The song marches its cadence fittingly
underscoring the song’s message about overcoming life’s challenges. Kierra
samples the Clark Sisters’ song, “They Were Overcome,” paying homage to
the trailblazing work of the group’s members: Sheard’s aunts and her mother,
Karen Clark Sheard.
Kierra gets personal on GRACELAND
and shares her ongoing inner battle between self-conviction and condemnation.
Gail Mitchell from Billboard states, “Sheard’s triumph over turmoil ultimately
triggered what is arguably her best and most versatile work to date. GRACELAND
brims with self-introspection and lessons learned as a fearless Sheard
bares her soul and shares a revelatory, yet joyous journey that everyone can
personally embrace.” Kierra collaborated for the first time with celebrated pop
songwriter Diane Warren (Beyoncé,
Whitney Houston, Céline Dion) and rising songwriter/producer Harmony Samuels
(Ariana Grande, Fantasia,
Michelle Williams).
Kierra Sheard is hosting an
online listening session Wednesday, May 28th at 6:30pm EST on Ustream.com
to promote her highly-anticipated 5th solo album, GRACELAND (Karew/Motown)
in-stores July 22. Fans can log on to http://www.ustream.tv/channel/journey-to-graceland to listen to selected songs from the album as well as
participate in a Live Q&A with Kierra.
