Sheree Brown - Messages from the Spirit...The Collective (2021)

“Messages From The Spirit…The Collective” follows Sheree Brown’s 2013 offering ‘Messages From The Heart’ and includes the single “Take A Walk With Love” and a song with Sheree Brown’s long-time collaborator, Grammy nominated singer, songwriter, composer, Patrice Rushen.

Best remembered in the UK for her 1981 rare groove favourite ‘It’s A Pleasure’, “Messages From The Spirit…The Collective” features a stellar collection of uplifting songs focusing on love; self love, love of family and community, and love of humanity. The album has a timeless quality typified by a gentle touch that is best heard on cuts like ‘Spirit’ featuring Mayanicol, the delicately jazz infused ‘We Can Make It’ featuring Patrice Williams, and the slow burn ballad ‘I Wanna Thank You Love’ featuring Sarah Lynne. The organic, bluesy ‘Her Blue Shoes’ has a folk-soul feel, Dwight Trible guests on the dreamy ‘It’s All About Love’ while the more uptempo, summery gem ‘Beautiful Girl’ is another highlight. Well rounded and varied album that will appeal to Sheree’s fans.
