The Grammy and Stellar-nominated singer, songwriter and actress DeLeon Richards Sheffield is back in the spotlight with a gospel CD titled Here in Me, released on her new Demari Entertainment imprint and distributed by Arrow Records.
The title track is an introspective inspirational ballad with a prominent Spanish guitar giving the performance a touch of Latin flavor. With a smooth yet soulful voice reminiscent of Toni Braxton (the entire production sounds like vintage Braxton), DeLeon sings about the need for personal strength despite all odds. Not surprising. The Chicago native has had her share of trials and tribulations over the years, but since this is not a gossip rag, you’ll have to find that stuff out for yourself.
“Here In Me,” with its catchy chorus, could easily be classified as adult contemporary, smooth jazz, gospel, inspirational, or better yet, all of the above.
