Search - Cheryl Barnes :: Listen To This

I sing because I must. I am compelled from within - the force sometimes ebbing...often flowing...the rhythm of it all out of my hands. I follow where it leads; it is an essential part of my being. Those are the words of singer extraordinaire Cheryl Barnes. She has been a fixture on the stages of Southern California for years, and among industry veterans she is considered a singer's singer. Cheryl has spent the past five years working on Listen to This, her newest and greatest album, and one that features both her sense of melody and her talent as a song stylist. From the hippest of contemporary flaire like Come With Me and What s On Your Mind to choice standards such as I Wish You Love (dedicated to the memory of Gloria Lynne) and Why Did I Choose You (inspired by Barbra Streisand s rendition), Cheryl brings a singular warmth and empathy to every line she sings, engaging listeners from a purr to a power belt.
