Cleaning House!!!

A new year is approaches. Last year this time, I was fulfilling one of my goals which was to start a blog. And, here I am at this point writing in it. Although, I did not used it everyday like I planned, I'm still using it and that is what is important.

So it's now house-cleaning time! No, not the physical house but house in the proverbial sense ... however you define house.
I've already cleared my phone of all text messages both sent and received because I'm making way for new and positive messages. I've also started cleaning up my FB friends list because the word 'friend' is very important... to me it means someone that you hold dear, someone who means a lot to you. We have to realize that some persons are just on our FB page to 'faas' in our business.

I'm also cleaning the house of thoughts and thought process: how I process things, if its negative, it's out of here! I'm redefining what I see as issues - in other words I'm getting rid of those things which so easily 'beset' me.

My wish for my friends, is that they would do the same... make some changes (even if it means getting rid of me!). I love this time of year because its an opportunity to re-think and re-start somethings. Equally, its to evaluate and get rid of some other things.

Whatever you choose to do... make some changes - clean house!

Sherieta releases ‘Come Find Me’

Multitalented reggae singer and songwriter, Sherieta, has released her latest single titled ‘Come Find Me’. The song is of course written by Sherieta and is another soft-core love ballad which looks at the ever elusive love relationship which many seek to find.

The song starts with a catchy, fast-paced rhythm on which the singer shows off her deejay skills. As the song progresses, Sherieta’s knack for writing poignant lyrics is evident; the lyrics are actually poetry in song. Not only do the lines rhyme, they also tell an interesting story of a search for love, which has so far been hard to find.

This latest single is produced by accomplished local Producer, Donovan Germaine on the Penthouse Label. While this is Sherieta’s fourth released single, this is the second that is produced by Germaine. The first ‘Reggae is Life’ has enjoyed impressive airplay both in Jamaica and overseas, particularly in the UK and Africa.

Speaking specifically to the release of the single, Sherieta’s stated that the release of ‘Come Find Me’ is part of her plan to continuously release singles which speak to the many personal situations that individuals face. “My intention has always been to write and sing songs that have meaning. Songs which tug on the heart strings of my fans and Come Find Me will do just that.”

The singer has been quite busy in the studio lately, also collaborating with Gospel artiste Sherwin Gardener to release ‘Be my full stop’, another love song, which speaks to the love, commitment and trust necessary to build a relationship, hence the request for one to be the other’s ‘full stop’.

A positive individual with a strong belief that good music can change the world, Sherieta’s desire is to continue to gather a catalogue of excellently written and produced music inspired by the experiences of those around her.
